Yeah, that's easily done. I have it in the other distfile cleaning
routine, I just forgot to add it here. Thanks for pointing it out.

It's already doing what -DD does. I'll give some thought to doing what
-D does. The method I'm using to make the cleaning fast and efficient
scales ok up to a couple thousand ports (more than I think most users
would have installed) but I doubt it would scale well up to 16k or
more. :)
