RFE: automatically remove .DS_Store files from build directories

Description
Often times I'll stop a port's build part way through to check on stuff in Finder, and when I do that, the port's build path will get littered with .DS_Store files, causing the port's build folder to not get deleted during the cleaning step, because it won't be empty. These files should be deleted so that build directories get cleaned away properly.

Uh, not really, because it's not something that gets logged. I can attach a screenshot though.

All the open folders in this screenshot with .DS_Store files in them were supposed to have been deleted

Deleting all the files is overkill for that particular problem. Deleting the one in the top-level dir would do it, or deleting the dir if it contains no other dirs rather than requiring it to be completely empty.

Replying to jmr@…:

Sure, whatever works. I just focused on .DS_Stores because they're annoying.
Could you attach a log showing the problem?
