#5 new features: add distfiles cleanup, etc
I would like to add a few other functions to porthole
such as distfiles cleanup. There a several scripts
that do this. I thought it should be possible to
chain those or variations of thos to porthole buttons.
One of the reasons I made some changes to where the
screen size constants were set was so that
preferences could be read in from a file. Then it
would also be possible to allow users to chose from
several other scripts to use for different tasks such
as distfiles cleanup, ufed (use flag settings using
ncurses), gentoolkits revdep-rebuild, etc.
It would make a very convenient, one stop shopping
emerge related admin tool. It would also allow for
easy moves to newer and better utilities without a lot
of direct porthole development.

Our main priority at the moment is getting emerging and
syncing working perfectly. After that, we can see about
adding this functionality in (in fact, a USE flag editor is
already planned). Distfiles cleanup sounds good; maybe we
can get it in for 0.3 or 0.4 :)

Is there still interest for this specific feature? If so, I have
written a patch for it...
