Thanks for this very useful hint! I have managed to free a lot
of precious disk space!!

I did it in a semi-automated way:

# emerge -p prune > prune-list.txt

then I edited the file, leaving only the rows with packages
I really wanted to prune (for instance I wouldn't prune old
kernels)

# vi prune-list.txt

and then:

for i in `cat prune-list.txt`; do emerge -v prune $i ; done

Cheers,
   AS
