[Axiom-developer] rebuild

the configure line is actually in the lsp/Makefile.pamphlet

generally axiom does all of its work in int, obj, and mnt

int is a scratch area for things that are system independent and
machine generated (like lsp, c, etc)

obj is a scratch area for things that are system dependent and
machine generated (like .o files)

mnt is the "ship" subdirectory. the mnt subdirectory can be copied
anywhere and represents a complete, working axiom 

in general, you can just delete int, obj, and mnt and axiom should
only rebuild those directories. in fact, the most general goal of
the makefiles is to minimize work so it should be true that you
can delete individual files and the top level make should do the
minimum amount of work necessary to rebuild a working axiom.

thus, if you want to hack lisp but want to rebuild the system otherwise
you can just "rm -rf int obj mnt"
