But such tool should respect a config which says don't touch some files.
E.g. admin uses BIND from port and says NO_BIND=yes in make.conf. Tool shouldn't
delete files only because they aren't listed from last buildworld.

OTOH, one can say make DESTDIR=/somewhere installworld and then move
directories to their usual place.
