Actually, judging from the little context I can see up there, I don't think we even need PIB (which is a very, very nice interface tool in its own right). Assuming what we are talking about is cleaning up the master distfiles/ dir on ftp.freebsd.org, all we need is a list of distfiles from recent releases. This can be easily done by checking out a ports tree for that release (which is not possible in general using CVS, but there's always the CD), and doing a "cat */*/files/md5 | sort -u". :) In fact, I'm doing this now.
