I'd agree with removing .ppu, .o, .a but:
1) removing executables is nasty if you have 3rd party exes in your
Lazarus tree
2) IIRC, there's a way to use closed source ppus... if that is true,
deleting .ppu might be nasty, too. Possibly similar argument for .o or .a

Perhaps a new make nuclearclean option would be nice that does remove
all .ppu, .o and .a files...
