[Scons-users] Why directories are not removed on clean?

[Alexey Petruchik]

The problem is that i'm playing with Xcode project generation in scons. And
Xcode project is just a folder nevertheless it looks like a file in Finder
so after clean this "file" is not cleaned. I could try to write remove()
for Dir class but my concern is what to do with non-empty directories?
