Do you actually want everything in the directory deleted, if anything's
out-of-date (ie., if any one thing is out-of-date, does that actually
require everything get rebuilt)? If not, then <dependset> probably isn't
the best way to go. On the other hand, if yes, then whatever target
currently builds this stuff should just depend on a target that has the
<dependset>, so it'll go do that first, then, when it comes back to the
original target, the task(s) in it will build whatever would normally get
built when none of the target-files are there.
