PDB problems with MSVC 6/7

Hi,

I am building a project with boost.build and want to build with both msvc6 and msvc7.

At present I am having problems when linking, as the pdb files are incompatable between the versions.

The simplest way around this would probably have clean remove the pdb files. I seem unable to implement this though (I have tried various things in msvc-tools.jam, but none seem to work for me). I notice that the CMD files are also not removed by clean.

Can anyone give me pointers on how to clean the pdb files ?

I guess another way would be to have a "clean" target that removed the directory tree for the specified build altogether.
