Given that I've upgraded my systems over time from Dapper > Edgy >
Feisty > Gutsy, this package caught my eye & I am thinking that it might
be a useful program to go through and check/clean my systems.
man cruft seems to indicate that this thing will take off & start
removing things if the correct parametors are not set in the command. So
I figure I'd better check here first to see if anyone has used it, and
if so, what their experience has been.
