I've just adjusted some code in bsd.pkg.mk to allow (recursive) "make
clean"/"make deinstall":
make clean CLEANDEPENDS=YES
make deinstall DEINSTALLDEPENDS=YES
Both CLEANDEPENDS and DEINSTALLDEPENDS default to NO, so nothing should
change. It's just there if you want it.
Please note that DEINSTALLDEPENDS is _not_ what "pkg_delete -r" does - it
walks the dependency tree in the other way, removing as much of what the
given package requires as possible, without taking things from other
packages.
