Running distclean is the best and most reliable way to ensure no Win32
build problems.  I vote to remove cleanbld.bat.

Hi List!

As it was dicussed several times before, it seems to be a good idea to
simply remove cleanbld.bat.

It's not updated regular and even using it seems to fail under some
circumstances (as reported before).

It will make the documentation and maintenance and "understandability"
of the development easier to 
simply force the win32 developers to have all tools available for a
complete build and simply use distclean instead.

As Win32 users won't compile Ethereal themselves they are not affected
(compared to the UNIX world).

Of course, README.win32 needs to be updated accordingly.


So are there any objections against removing it? 

Regards, ULFL
