please make it easier to remove a file from the GHC sources

I'm trying to remove some obsolete code from GHC's back end. (It will live forever in darcs). The only workflow I can find that works is

cd $TOP
./configure
(cd compiler; make -k -j 5)

This workflow is really expensive; on a 4-processor machine it is costing me 48 seconds every time I remove a file...
