prevent /space/<build> from recreation everytime tinderbuild starts

Hi,

the following idea came to my mind while tinderboxing on an old PII-333
with a slow IDE disk, and I'm interested what others think about it:

I would like to add a flag to ./tc tinderbuild to prevent /space/<build>
from recreation (cleanDirs + tar) in case that flag was given on cmdline.
I see two ways to prevent any polution from any previous run:
 1) Remove any left-over file when leftovers are detected in portsbuild.
 2) add a filed in the database which marks a build as "dirty" when one
    or more builds had left-overs. That would end up in a recreation of
    /space/<build> even if the new flag was given next time tinderbuild
    starts.
I for my own would prefer the 1st way.
