[Spacewalk-list] Script to cleanup obsolete packages in channels

[Trent Johnson]

Thanks Mike - I started running it yesterday on a two year old 
installation - it's still going, but a lot of cruft has been removed.

I had to make a channel called "aaaaaa" otherwise it skips the first 
channel.

Thanks,
Trent
