 * It should suffice top say "pkg_delete bash" for 
 * example to remove the package "bash-1.14.6" (or
 * was it bash-1.14-6 :-) ...

Adding something like this is quite easy without adding anything else
to the Makefiles, as the package names are now standardized.
Everything up to the last "-" is the "class" and the rest is the
version.

The version numbers are pretty standardized too, but unfortunately the
current rules aren't good enough to make them sort in order (in
particular, 'a'/'b' which usually mean "alpha"/"beta" sort before
numbers), so you can't just say "delete everything but the latest
version" or "add the newest package".
