As I said, unless a build crashes or you tell fink explicitly to keep 
them, the subdirectories of /sw/src/fink.build are automatically deleted 
after each build. Each package creates two subdirectories, one during 
the build phase, with a name of the form foo-version-revision, and 
another one during the install phase, with a name of the form 
root-foo-version-revision. You can safely remove all of these.
