My /usr/ports directory was occuping 24 gigs, of which 20 was just from the 'work' directories !

Removing them one by one was a pain so I wrote this little utility to wipe them off.

I find that the following command works just fine for me:

find /usr/ports -type d -name work -prune -print -delete
A bit rude, but also works

cd /usr/ports && make clean
