Bug 695491

Running 'make pcl-debug -j12' on the current code occasionally results in the following error:

I've looked into this and the problem is that building of both debugobj/plimpl.o and debugobj/pctop.o runs the command:

  cp ./debugobj/pconf.h ./debugobj/pconfig.h

and since these are built in parallel one of the copies fails.


Here's the relevant output from "make pcl-debug":

I've tried fixing this by editing various .mak files but my solutions didn't work and are messy.
