Once again: Bochs is a portable application, not a native Windows app. 
For compatibility with non-Windows platforms we are using *.o and *.a 
for the nmake build, too. When running "nmake all-clean" it is doing the 
cleanup as expected. If you decide to build Bochs with the IDE, you have 
to clean the folder containing the generated files from it, too. The 
number of genarated files can differ between both versions, since the 
file list for the make/nmake stuff is generated by the configure script, 
but the project files always contain the full list. Depending on the 
configure options, more or less generated files are empty, since an #if 
block disables all of the code in the related source files.
This method works fine for some years now, and I don't think that we 
have to change it.
