Thanks, Alon; so assuming that I want to utilize my existing database 
(after working hard filling it with Hosts, Storage Domains, VMs, etc...), 
but to re-deploy the environment (since I just fetched latest code from 
ovirt master, for example, and I want to run it) - I assume that I should 
NOT remove "$HOME/ovirt-engine" (or "PREFIX"); is it safe to simply 
run:
 "make clean install-dev PREFIX=[old-PREFIX]"
or is there something that needs to be removed / some cleanup that should  
be performed in order to make sure that there are no leftovers from 
previous deployments?
