Are there any tools to clean up /usr/portage/packages/All?

I have a little over 1GB of compiled packages that I want to go through
and clean up older versions of dups.  For example, I have:

zenity-2.12.1.tbz2
zenity-2.14.0.tbz2

Is there any gentoo tool that would go in this directory and delete
zenity-2.12.1.tbz2 but not zenity-2.14.0.tbz2?  I don't feel like
reinventing the wheel if something already exists.

Thanks,

Jim

Yes, eclean:
# equery b eclean
[ Searching for file(s) eclean in *... ]
app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.2_pre4 (/usr/bin/eclean)
app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.2_pre4 
(/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.2_pre4/eclean)
app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.2_pre4 (/etc/eclean)

It will also clean up distfiles.
