After having used the Cygwin download program (which is FANTASTIC!),
I've noticed that I end up with redundant copies of the software.  There
are multiple versions of a piece of software in a directory, e.g.,

<site>/release/binutils/binutils-20050520-1.tar.bz2
<site>/release/binutils/binutils-20050608-2.tar.bz2

as well as copies from other download sites:

<site2>/release/binutils/binutils-20050608-2.tar.bz2

Is there a (semi-)automatic way to get rid of the older versions and
keep just the latest one?

There's a wonderfully flexible perl script at:
