Can you send me a filelist please? I'm working on Makefile targets to get rid of
the old files/libs/dirs.

If you've recompiled _everything_ (even software which wasn't installed via
/usr/ports), there's no obvious reason to not delete them. But even if there's
something which doesn't work after removing them: it should be easy to
recompile the failing software.

Bye,
Alexander.
