From a build at the top level.  I'm trying very specifically not to let
direct "make build" instances be afflicted with version skew.

If you're hacking a tool, you can "make all" and "make install" in
src/tools/foo manually, and it won't cleandir.  Set MKTOOLS=no during this
hacking, and your tools/foo directories won't be touched during a "make
build".

I'll document this case.
