clean - cleans the builddir
cleansstate - cleans builddir as well as shared state copy of this
package if any
cleanall - clean builddir, shared state and the downloaded src tar
file from DL_DIR

you usually only should need clean in general. cleansstate should be seldom used
but its preferred to see why cleansstate is needed and if there is
anything wrong
with sstate we would like to know.
