checksum is a script that allows checking of ports to see if their checksums
match, and if they don't, give a diff against the older version to try and
discover why the checksum didn't match.

+distclean is a script that allows to compare md5 checksums of distfiles in
+ports/distfiles with list of all md5 sums listed in "md5" files in the ports
+collection. After comparing, utility will prompt to remove distfiles which
+doesn't have associated md5 entry (most likely outdated distfiles).
