> I'm still unclear why we went back to `.turd` files. James, do you
remember?
Installed directories are not recorded in the registry, only files (one
reason being that multiple ports may cause a given directory to be
created). So you need a way to both ensure that otherwise empty
directories that need to keep existing are not deleted when uninstalling
other ports that had files in those directories, and that those
directories are deleted when all ports that need them are uninstalled.
