 Now that MacPorts is always generating archives and has support for
 fetching signed archives, it should also generate and clean up the
 signature files when possible.

 A configuration item that specifies the path to the private key would be
 necessary to start signing packages.

 Regardless, MacPorts should delete any '''.rmd160''' files that are left
 over when uninstalling a port.

 It would also be beneficial if an existing '''.rmd160''' file were deleted
 if it exists when a new archive is created. In the event that an archive
 is signed before it is finished being written, or the user forces a
 reinstall of an existing port.
