It's always a good idea to do this, if you have appropriate COMPAT_*
bits enabled in your /etc/make.conf. I use ``find -mtime +1'' to
clean up after installworld, except renaming /usr/include and removing
/usr/libdata/perl for RELENG_4 before installworld). I also remove
empty directories in standard places, and re-run ``make distrib-dirs''
after that, to create ones that are really necessary.
