Hi, I have a habit of keeping cygwin packages on my computer and updating them from time to time using setup.exe. This saves me time when I need to install on another computer. This creates a problem of old versions of packages accumulating in my download directory. I used to remove them by hand but that is a time consuming process. Finally I wrote an awk script to help me deal with the problem. And just for kicks I added a shell wrapper :).
Attached are the scripts. I hope they could be useful to someone else. I am sure they can be improved but they have been useful to me as is.
That's a nice attempt. However, I can see that you're not aware of Michael Chase's clean_setup.pl (which does that and much, much more). Google for it.
