No. I said it would be very interesting just on its own. Sometimes we
tweak something either on build systems, test harness or test script
and the result is that the 'build' fails in such way that the makefile
is not 'generated' and then there's no possibility of running the
'clean' target of the makefile.

Given that I don't know the work you have in mind in that area, I
simply mentioned that it would be interesting to minimize writing into
curl/src and curl/lib.

'Interesting' does not imply requirement.
