 I've been using the <target>-emerge wrapper, and installed some 
 packages that worked out great. Now I want to try a different set of 
 packages. Is there a way to start over with a clean /usr/<target> 
 directory without asking crossdev to re-install everything?

 I'm wishing I had made a zip of the clean folder.

 thanks.

you could use `emerge -C` on the packages you installed.  or nuke the whole 
tree and emerge only the cross-compiler packages with -K (assuming you built 
binpkgs).  otherwise, your only option is `crossdev -C foo && crossdev foo`.
