Yes, this is a good idea.  As you probably know, you can already clear
out the cache directory of all download files from the main sbopkg
menu, but this blows 'em all away.  I do think it would be helpful to
have the ability to selectively delete certain tarballs in the cache
directory.  This could either be a new standalone entry in the menu
for each application (the menu where you can build or install the
package) or something that appears only when the MD5SUM fails.  The
former might be more helpful as there could be times one would want to
delete the source even if the MD5SUM hasn't failed.

In any event, this is a good suggestion and I'll look at adding in this feature.

No worries.  :-)  Thanks for the input and suggestions, Drew!
