1 I'd like to install the latest miro from their nightlies and that
2 means installing manually without an ebuild. I've always avoided this
3 because I don't want files spread across my system without an easy way
4 to remove them. I've also always wanted to set up a good cruft
5 removal script for keeping my system clean (I'll admit that takes me
6 in the hobbyist direction) and I'm thinking the two might work well
7 together. I could temporarily install apps without an ebuild and use
8 a cruft removal script to remove them.

10 What do you guys think of this? Do you know of a good cruft removal script?
