Calling ebuild with depend updates the cache of that ebuild. For
example, doing:

  ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.2.1-r1.ebuild depend

updates /var/cache/edb/dep/x11-base/xfree-4.2.1-r1 on my system.

But my understanding from looking at the sources is that emerge
automatically keeps the cache uptodate in the normal use. But then
again, it's not perfectly clear to me the roles of the two caches
(/var/cache/edb/dep and /usr/portage/metadata/cache), specifically in
which order they are used and updated.

If the list [of files that the script plans to delete] below is
complete, then the above error messages aren't important. If not then I
can update the script two use both caches in an attempt to find more.
