My /usr/ports directory was occuping 24 gigs, of which 20 was

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

guys... please use the official portsclean ! :)
In most of cases, you not need it. Portupgrade will clean after itself ;-)

included in the sysutils/portupgrade
