Description

I just found years-old build directories in my /opt/local/var/macports/build, uselessly occupying hundreds of megabytes. I regularly run port reclaim but it doesn't touch these. This seems counterintuitive. I would like to request that it clean up old build directories as well.

reclaim: remove portdbpath/build directory (​https://github.com/macports/macports-base/pull/175)

Ask the user if they want to delete the build location. This will also
remove the default ccache location.

reclaim: separate removing build and ccache locations (​https://github.com/macports/macports-base/pull/178)

Do not actually remove the build and ccache locations, only the files
and folders underneath.
