It has been written using python, and requires that gentoolkit is installed. It was tested againts gentoolkit-0.2.0 and portage-2.0.51-r3.

Changes

   Fix the DistfilesCleanerNonInstalled strategy. The new portage system 
   (2.0.51-r3) provides a new way to get SRC_URI files. The old way to get that
   information is still there, but is broken!. That broke the stratagy. It
   wanted to erase all the files.
   The problem was noticed by Daniel Schregenberger
