If you already have packages/All populated from the branch bulk build, this
should happen automatically for you.  Binary packages from there are checked
for "newness".

I also just added a change to mk/bulk/pre-build to auto-prune old packages
by default (you can turn this off in build.conf if you desire by setting the
appropriate PRUNE* variables to "no").
