IMHO, the best way to clean up after source upgrades, if you can
temporarily spare a bit of disk space, is to install a new, clean
userland in a temporary directory and compare it with root.
# mkdir /tmp/testworld
# cd /usr/src
# make DESTDIR=/tmp/testworld installworld
then you can compare a listing of /tmp/testworld with the existing
files, and delete what seems like old and stale :)
