Skipping empty directory cleaning on install

From:: Misty De Meo

Is it possible to have Homebrew skip its cleaning up of empty directories in
the "finishing up" phase? I'm creating a formula for a game which creates an
empty directory in which to save its savegames, and it fails to save with an
error if that directory is removed.

Thanks,
Misty

Use the "skip_clean" method; grep through existing formulae for examples.
You can specify specific binaries/folders to skip, or use the symbol
":all" to clean nothing.

Thanks, Adam. That did the trick.
