	Hmm, "On that path lies danger". If anything it should probably be
	a warning rather than an automatic delete, though you can get the
	current list of files by running tar tzf on the tarfile...

	It would be simple enough to write a script to list the unwanted
	files, though if you're using ftp to download the pkgsrc you
	should really nuke the old pkgsrc before extracting (Thats
	mentioned in the software/packages.html#setting_up_pkgsrc webpage
