The  reason  port  A  needs  upgrading should  not  be  the  PORTREVISON
somewhere,  but  the mere  fact,  that  port B,  for  which  there is  a
lib-dependency, is  being upgraded. If portupgrade does not do  this, it
should -- always -- with or without my modifications.

None of the "chase the foo shared library bump" commits I've seen so far
bump up PORTREVISION at the same time. Or do they?
