This explains why the "shell find" command was used. I was attempting to 
generate the list from $(CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE), but that is not defined 
during "make clean" as I am just now learning. While I would prefer to use 
a whitelist instead of a blacklist, I do not know a way to accomplish 
that. If everyone is ok with wiping out all files other than Makefile and 
main.c, then I will add the wildcard to "targets" and submit a new 
patch revision.
