by Julian H. Stacey        jhs@  
Patch allows you to
        cd /usr/ports;make package-clean
or
        cd /usr/ports;make package-clean-deinstall
without running out of space too quickly
as it does a clean or clean & deinstall after each individual port.

Presumably the deinstall does not get run on dependent ports,
so you will gradually eat up disk even with this enhancement.
Just as well, else some common dependent ports such as X11
will get made several hundred times!
