Hi, 
 
this is something I miss since a very loooong time. 
my distfiles directory is growing about 3 gigabyte, with (of course) containing obsolete 
duplicates. Unfortunately searching for them (to be deleted) by hand is everything but 
trivial. Emerge knows about the required information to automatically delete obsolete 
packages in distfiles and (probably using another flag) obsolete binary packages. 
 
Many thanks, 
Christian Parpart.
