-r is for deleting a package and all of the packages which depend on that
package.

-R is for cleaning up by deleting a package and any packages it depends on
(unless some other package still needs it).

An example:

zebedee is built using gmake and perl. Doing "pkg_delete -R zebedee"
currently would remove zebedee and tcl (if tcl is not used by other
package).

My idea was to have "pkg_delete -RR zebedee" (or "pkg_delete -RB zebedee")
remove zebedee and tcl and gmake and perl (if they are not depended on by
another package).

That's what jlam just suggested too. I will work on a target for that.
