It could be *dangerous* to automatically delete files based on WITHOUT_ 
settings in src.conf. If somebody set WITHOUT_OPENSSH and have it built 
and replaced by ssh from ports with OPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE, then your 
proposed magic will delete this ssh as well. So the machine ends without 
any ssh even if there should be ssh from ports!
