This doesn't have any effect for,
/usr/ports/lang/python/Makefile:31:.if defined(USE_PORTMASTER)

Does it ?

It would be real nice if these things were somewhat in sync for their 
intended use.

Ill BCC python@ for the heads up on ``UPGRADE_TOOL'' I would prefer this 
personally over USE_ vars. But is this common among portupgrade and 
portmaster ? If not can something be done in tree to decipher it into what 
is supposed to be set to avoid confusion ?
