Purge all removed packages ?

[Peter Cranmer]

Afaik pkg_delete has a switch (maybe n) that will just tell you what it 
would do.  I've never tried it but i've seen it in man pages, you might be 
able to script something with that to pkg_delete -n/copy the files somewhere 
else/pkg_delete.

pkg_delete also deletes configuration files, alerting you when a file
has been modified by the user, ex:

pkg_delete: '/path/to/the/file/to/remove' fails original MD5 checksum
- deleted anyway.

but as you can see, it deletes the file anyway!

Hope this helps!
