QA: old cruft

Is there a module that will clean out old cruft that is left after
(many) upgrades/updates of modules? We all know that

$ make install UNINST=1'

does not (always) uninstall previous versions, and neither does Build,
but we still end up with

$ find perl5 | grep '5.14.*threads.*shared' | xargs ls -l

For XS modules in 5.14.1 my state currently is

Possible double module 5.14.1/auto/Devel/DProf/DProf.so:
  5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/Devel/DProf/DProf.so
  site_perl/5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/Devel/DProf/DProf.so
Possible double module 5.14.1/auto/Sys/Syslog/Syslog.so:
  5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/Sys/Syslog/Syslog.so
  site_perl/5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/Sys/Syslog/Syslog.so
Possible double module 5.14.1/auto/autobox/autobox.so:
  5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/autobox/autobox.so
  site_perl/5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/autobox/autobox.so
Possible double module 5.14.1/auto/threads/shared/shared.so:
  5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/threads/shared/shared.so
  site_perl/5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/threads/shared/shared.so
Possible double module 5.14.1/auto/threads/threads.so:
  5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/threads/threads.so
  site_perl/5.14.1/i686-linux-64int-ld/auto/threads/threads.so

but that will grow as time goes by
