altering Visual Studio's Clean Solution option


As a post-build event for some of my projects, I have documentation copied from directories like bin\Project\Debug to a central doc\ directory in the root directory of my solution. When I do a Clean Solution, I know bin\ and obj\ files get deleted, but I would like for another event to happen to delete cruft from my own doc\ directory. Is there a way I can hook into the Clean Solution event to run my own post-clean code? Perhaps a macro? I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Team System.
