Port port_cutleaves is referenced significantly on MacPorts. It  
appears solid and dies what it needs to do. I've never used it before.

Willit allow the removal of master ports not in use, plus whatever  
dependency cruft that may lurking around?

If so, this is valuable, how come it is not built into MacPorts? Or  
perhaps that is in fact a longer term goal?
