Cleaning distfiles

[Jason Swails]

{sudo} port clean --all uninstalled

Does that do the trick?  You can optionally replace --all with --dist to
just get rid of the distfiles.  I don't want to do this to test it since I
actually want to hold on to those files.

You can also do

{sudo} port -u uninstall

to clean out all old, inactive versions (you can get the list via "port
inactive").

Hope this helps,
Jason
