Hmm, on win32 when building the accumulator docs the command is:

del /f /q 
"..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\accumulators\doc\msvc-8.0\debug\threading-multi\statsdoc\*.xml"

and the files get created in:

..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\accumulators\doc\msvc-8.0\debug\threading-multi\statsdoc-xml

Of course we may still be deleting files that haven't been created yet...
