A simple script that removes older packages from cache dir

Hello all,
I wrote a small bash script that removes packages (from cachedir /var/cache/pacman/pkg), older than the ones available in repositories (eg. if the current version of pacman is 2.6.3, it will remove pacman-2.6.2 from cachedir). It implements the functionality of debian's 'apt-get autoclean'.
Get it from http://www.kegep.tuc.gr/~manolis/archlinux/cleanold.sh.

Thx for this script!
That was exactly the thing I wanted to ask for!
