No, no outdated files.  I download svn fresh and build from the fresh 
download.  I build a package for Zenwalk, so it's easily installed or 
removed.  There is never any need to "make clean all" due to the fact 
I'm not using the same unarchived directory.

I normally remove grub from the system before installing the new, so 
that no old files are left behind.  From what I can see from testing, 
there is a bug in 2059.  What that is, I'm afraid I don't know, but am 
hoping you guys will clear it up soon.

thanks,
Pat
