I have installed an M-Build for RSE to get a fix for a problem I reported.
Now I have duplicate features laying around in my system. Eclipse does a
fine job of detecting the current version and loading it, but I would like
to remove the older versions.
Is there a tool that will scrub the eclipse folder removing features that
have newer versions installed?

I don't think such a tool exists. However, it is not as simple a task as
it might seem. First of all, OSGi allows for multiple versions of a
bundle (plugin) to be used at the same time. If different plugins depend
on different versions of the same plugin, that has to be supported and
thus you can't just remove the older versions; you would have to verify
that no other plugins are depending on them first, which is not a
trivial task IMO.
Second, I'm pretty sure old versions are kept around to enable the
"revert configuration" feature, which allows you to easily revert your
set of plugins to a previous state (useful in cases where you install
something that you later decide to back out).
