Ok, done. :)

This is done too now, although it turned out to be a lot harder than I
expected. It required redoing how some of the internal stuff worked, but in
the end it made the whole script better, so I'm glad I pursued this. As an
extra bonus you can now do 'portmaster -af' and it will force an update of
all ports on your system, starting with the leaves.
New version is at http://dougbarton.us/portmaster.html
If there are no new feature requests, and no bugs found, I will make a port
out of this and be sure to get it in before the end of the month.
Thanks again for all the feedback,
Doug
