[svn-r4682] Purpose:

    Bug fix
Description:
    A a build had occurred in the source tree ($CURRENT) and did not
    do a distclean, the left over files would interfere with srcdir
    build.
Solution:
    Added a "make distclean" in the "checkout" option to clean up
    the $CURRENT just in case.  Not necessarily the most optimal
    spot to do the cleaning but convenient.
Platforms tested:
    Eirene.
