I don't earlly see why that is a "problem" tha needs solving. cerrtainl
all I want is to be able to list ports installed by hand, regardless of
whether the later became dependencies of other ports. Just a nice
simple way to be able to say "what did I install on this?" before
wiping all ports and upgrading would be nice.
