Summary: "Clean Build Directory" breaks "Compile"

Initial Comment:
When "Clean Build Directory" is invoked, the build directory (not just its 
contents) is deleted.  That's fine -- I think I prefer it, in fact.  But then 
when I attempt to compile, the compiler generates strange errors that 
stem from the fact that the build directory doesn't exist.

I'd like to have the build directory be created immediately before 
compilation.  If that change is made, there are other things that may 
assume that the build directory always exists that should be modified as 
well -- "Project Properties", for example, doesn't allow the build directory 
to be set to a nonexistent directory (touching the text box after a clean, 
then, generates an error message); jarring and testing may make similar 
assumptions.
