Good catch. I did not notice those during my lookups of those patches.
Not my intention to bump into Christian's feet, but here are updated
patches.

Actually, is that worth adding for clean.bat? I doubt that many people

not the bottleneck, the build script is. I added it in the patch 0001
attached but I doubt that's worth it to be honest.
