Satoshi, let me remind you, you started this yourself in the 
ghostscript3 port (see below) and I liked that idea, so I used
it in my ports as well.

revision 1.4

If we extract the jpeg port in the pre-extract target, we might as
well clean it up in the pre-clean target.

I think it is disturbing, that a 'make all install clean' session
leaves - depending on the amount of extracted ports - megabytes
in the filesystem. 

So I'd vote that a make clean also does a 'make clean' in that
port directories that were needed to build or install the port.
