Node concepts, without a particular order
-----------------------------------------
when finding a source dir:
1. eliminate src files that do not exist anymore
2. look in os.listdir or try os.stat
when declaring a build file:
1. construct the folder structure in the build dir to avoid the manual mkdirs
2. create the nodes for the src dir too if the folders exist
when looking for a resource:
1. return either a source file or a build file, the build file will have the priority
2. find the intermediate source and build nodes
The calls to os.listdir should be cached somehowa cache for os.listdir
Eliminate source dir nodes when they do not exist anymore
When build nodes do not exist, do not delete them but remove the signatures
Using the testcase
------------------
Execute
../waf distclean configure build
