${prefix}/var/macports/software

[Jeremy Lavergne]

Question for anyone who happens to know the innards of MacPorts with  
regards to its software directory:  is it suppose to be emptied out  
when you have uninstalled all ports?

This is on a build box for me, and I have archivemode enabled and use  
`-f uninstall` exclusively for software removal.

The software directory is a fat 2.6GB when nothing is installed.  Note  
archives are not contained in the software folder (they're in ../ 
packages).

Does some combination of my settings leave these files in there?  Does  
using -f do this? Does archivemode cause them to be forgotten? Does  
the combination break the expected behavior?
