Hi, If I try to build the lesson 1 package after installing it as a sample 
project no ipk file gets built and I looked in both the projects directory 
and in the lesson1 directory there is no ipk file built.  I noticed that 
when I removed developer I still found some stuff in /usr/share/icon/apps 
for the developer program like empty directories and 
/home/root/db/developer.db.  As the developer program does not store 
settings it would be nice if this file were removed when the package was 
uninstalled.  What I am talking about when I want to remove a file is if I 
have a file in the project and wish to remove it entirely from the .prj file 
it requires me to edit out the xml code not just removing the file.  What 
could be going on there with regards to no ipk file being built?
