I'm very excited about this new version! I finally figured out a way 
to incorporate the "trick" of checking the distinfo files for 
up-to-date distfile names into the per-port distfile cleaning routine. 
Now the number of false positives for other distfiles with similar 
names (ala php-*, Net-*, Digest-*, X11R6.9.0-* etc.) will be 
significantly reduced, almost to 0. Using a temp file to store this 
information also speeds up the distfile checking part of the 
--clean-distfiles* options, without penalizing the distinfo file 
information gathering process.

The --show-work option is something I've had on my TODO list for a 
long time, and finally had a brief flash of inspiration on how to 
implement cheaply.


Enjoy,

Doug

   New Features
   ============
   1. --show-work option which will recurse through all-depends-list
   and show what dependencies are, and are not installed.
   2. Dramatically reduce false positives for per-port distfile
   cleaning by creating a list of valid distfiles for all ports. Use
   this new method for the --clean-distfiles* options as well.

   Bug Fix
   =======
   Honor DISTDIR if set for --clean-distfiles*
