It does require tk, and hence X, and hence a bit more than this task really
needs, especially on servers that don't run X.

Also, I think this'll plug in easier into other scripts - instead of
deleting the distfile, the script'll print it's name to STDOUT, and you
can move it elsewhere, or whatever, as you want. (or maybe that's a
"lots of little tools synergy" theorem)
