That seems like a problem.  New code should build cleanly in
isolation, otherwise it can be polluted by leftovers sprinkled around
the system.  

It isn't easy to install the cluster software into a separate
directory like /opt/cluster-20040901/, so it is likely that there will
be old files in places like /usr/include.

Yes, but they aren't consistent enough to script away easily.
