First of all great script. I was thinking about such a script a long time but 
didn't find the time to do it myself. (And if i did it, it wouldn't be such a 
good scipt :-)

Feedback / Corrections:
the first run results in the following

cloudcity root # distfiles-clean -p
mktemp: cannot make temp file /tmp//usr/local/sbin/distfiles-clean.E63Npk: No 
such file or directory
/usr/local/sbin/distfiles-clean: $TMPFILE: ambiguous redirect
sed: can't read /var/cache/edb/dep/sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19: No such 
file or directory
xargs: sed: terminated by signal 13
rm: too few arguments
Try `rm --help' for more information.

I think there is an error in the script in line 53. I changed /tmp/$0.XXXXX 
into /tmp/$PROGRAM.XXXXX and then the result looks like this:

cloudcity sbin # distfiles-clean -p
sed: can't read /var/cache/edb/dep/sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19: No such 
file or directory
alsa-lib-0.5.10b.tar.bz2
gaim-0.59.3.tar.bz2
j2sdk-1_4_1_01-linux-i586.bin *
kde-i18n-3.0.4.tar.bz2 *
kde-i18n-gentoo.patch *
rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm *

I marked the packets which are installed with an *. So removing of this would 
be to much :)

Thanks anyway for the script. Keep up the good work.
