Recursively cleaning build directories from all 17000+ ports in the
tree.  This was probably not really a good idea :)  In general to clean
up a port's previous build directory you just needed to run it on the
single port you were trying to build.  However make clean doesn't
remove old distfiles anyway, you want 'make distclean' (again, from
the bash port directory).
