Sorry, Marius, too slow;)

I implemented something like this, but I just couldn't figure out how to
get buildbot to do it itself. Apparently two builds are not allowed to
use the same directory, so you can't schedule a periodic cleanup.

So there's a buildbot-build rule in the Makefile that runs
"make realclean" for every build triggered on Saturdays. Not really a
good solution, so please change it if you can think of a better one.

Already it's found a problem with our egg dependencies
(overspecification?):
