[Scip] Examples makefiles in SCIP may eat all personal data (make clean dangerous)

[Stefan Heinz]

Hi Martin,

we are very sorry for the trouble you had with the project Makefile. I changed 
in all projects to:

.PHONY: clean
clean:
ifneq ($(OBJDIR),)
                -rm -rf $(OBJDIR)/*.
endif
                -rm -f $(MAINFILE)

and update the tarballs on the scip homepage as well as on the zibopt 
homepage.

Sorry for the trouble
Stefan
