In principal it's difficult to determine the targets that make clean has been called with (e.g. it could be called with multiple targets). The problem, then, is really the odd way we build documentation in base and gui - by calling make on a separate make file in the Source and Tools directory.  I've added a work-around for base and gui that solves this problem.

When building gnustep from source, if you do this:

cd gnustep/core/base ; make ; cd Documentation ; make

Everything is fine; then do

make clean ; make

This should just rebuild the docs, but instead you get an error, because ../Tools/obj (and, for that matter, ../Source/obj) have been deleted, so the autogsdoc tool is not found.  The 'obj' files are symlinks to 'shared_obj' put there by the regular (base) make, NOT by the documentation make.

What seems to be the problem is the "make clean" rule for "documentation" GNUstep targets is removing 'obj' symlinks even though it does not create them.
