OK, got that. Now, the rest of the question. When/how is it suosed to be cleaned up? I would have thought that a "make clean" in a given port directory would have done that, but that does not appear to be the case. Followup question, if it is not autmatically cleaned up, when is it safe to do so manualyy? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
