Hi Jay,

as I'm at home today I can't tell you exactly what you need to do but...

1) the ide sources are part of the Clean open source distribution so you can
check out what the ide does by examining the module PmCleanSystem in the
Clean Tools/Windows directory.

2) the ide also recognizes two commandline options supporting this kind of
usage:

--batch-build <clean project>
--batch-force-build <clean project>

If you launch the ide with one of these options it will build the given
project (force build forces recompilation of all involved modules).
