Description Robert Reynolds 2017-08-05 00:53:16 CEST 
After FSTs have compiled, the Makefile deletes all of the temporary files, for example:

```rm generator-raw-gt-desc.tmp.hfst analyser-gt-desc.accented.tmp.hfst generator-gt-norm.accented.tmp.hfst generator-g
t-desc.accented.tmp.hfst analyser-gt-norm.accented.hfst analyser-gt-desc.accented.hfst generator-gt-desc.accented.hf
st analyser-gt-norm.tmp.hfst analyser-disamb-gt-desc.accented.hfst generator-gt-norm.tmp.hfst analyser-gt-desc.tmp.h
fst generator-gt-desc.tmp.hfst generator-gt-norm.accented.hfst analyser-disamb-gt-desc.tmp.hfst analyser-disamb-gt-d
esc.accented.tmp.hfst analyser-gt-norm.accented.tmp.hfst```

Would it be possible to add a flag, something like `--keep-tmp` to skip the steps that `rm` these files?

Try making with V=1 (verbose build), I have a recollection of not all files being deleted then.

Not Android...
Comment 3 Robert Reynolds 2017-10-09 19:33:35 CEST 
`make V=1` doesn't seem to have an effect on whether tmp files are removed.
