Ok, now is removed.  But I think would be a "make installworld" job.

Anyway, from time to time, I remove /usr/include and do a make includes
but what happens if I forgot to make "order" ?  Same problem with old
libraries (my system comes from Febrary 20, 1999, always upgraded).
How can I safetly remove unused stuff?
