All good points.  The patch could certainly be modified to check 
and account for any or all the variables in the build system.  And 
pretty trivially, I should think.  Clearly, though, it should be done
by someone with more knowlege of the dozen-odd mk files than I have.

Seems to have more than one advocate, albeit not in its present form.

I've seen it remove the package I'm building, but not the dependent
packages.  Building something like Galeon on a virgin system can leave
quite a bit.

I just tried it with tk and it didn't clean either tk or tcl.  This is with
a current pkgsrc and the November 11 snapshot installed.  Could be I've got
something set wrong on my system.  <shrug>
