	I did and do.
	I'm trying to move to a single tool for this set of tasks, and
pkg_sort is one of the (very) few things I haven't been able to
replace.  Unfortunately, that functionality is essential to several
scripts ....
	The other irreplaceable I can think of is "portsclean",
particularly the C, D, and L options.

	Depends on how lazy I'm feeling at the moment.  :-)
