+.SH NAME
+pruneemptydirs \- detects stale source dirs in a CVS tree
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pruneemptydirs
+[ \fB\-f\fP ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBpruneemptydirs\fP is used to clean up a local CVS tree.
+It detects directories containing remnants of old stuff which has been
+removed from the CVS. Such stale directories often break compilation.
+The current directory and all directories beneath it will be examined.
+.PP
+Note that this tool does not remove anything; it simply prints what to
+do as a series of remove commands. You can copy and paste these commands,
+or use them with eval in a script.
+.PP
+This tool works better if the source directory is not the same as the
+build directory, since it will not print directories containing old
+executables.
+.PP
+This utility is part of the TDE Software Development Kit.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-f\fP
+Actually perform the deletions instead of just printing them out.
+Use this option with care (no warranties, etc.)!
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the source
+directory is different from the build directory.
+If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory,
+the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
+.TP
+OBJ_SUBDIR
+Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the
+source directory. For instance, if the source directory is \fItdesdk\fP
+and the build directory is \fItdesdk/obj-i386-linux\fP, then OBJ_SUBDIR
+should be set to \fIobj-i386-linux\fP.
+.TP
+OBJ_REPLACEMENT
+A \fBsed\fP expression that is used to transform the source directory
+into the build directory.
+For instance, if the source directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk\fP and the
+build directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk-obj\fP, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT could
+be set to \fIs#tdesdk#tdesdk-obj#\fP.
