I assume you mean "worldclean".. in any case, if this script were to be
added to the repository, it wouldn't go under ports. Well, I guess I could
be persuaded to believe that it could be added as misc/worldclean or
something like that... it would indeed be helpful to clean systems that
have been around for so long they have outdated includes/binaries/etc.

Thanks! I'm gonna add it to my private collection of scripts (at least for
the time being).

Methinks this was implemented by Satoshi on bento.
