Over the last year and a half, my Mac OS X hard disk has accumulated several
old and no longer used versions of octave and octave forge. In order to
restore the real estate, what is the best strategy? My first thought is to
use rm -Rf on each offending directory, but there are many:
$ find . -name "*octave*" -print

Any ideas other than just systematically working through the list?
