Re: A handy utility (at least for me)

Hi;

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.

Setting WORDIRPREFIX in /etc/make.conf will cause all the 'work'
directories to be put in that directory. While cleaning them up wasn't
my reason for doing that (I shared /usr/ports across several
platforms), it sures makes cleaing up the work directories easy.

Ditto for DISTDIR, if you want to clean up distfiles.
