 Yuck - both the manual and the automated upgrade procedures are awful
 and pretty un-automatable from a ports perspective.
 
 I'm not seeing a lot of choice here but to flag to the user that an upgrade
 requires some manual intervention. 
 
 I can't even see a clean path for the manual upgrade, without screwing
 up FreeBSD's ports idea of the world (MD5's and so on).
 
 I'll take a look at the postgres port and see if I can do something like it 
 does, regarding a warning about existing installations before install.
 
 It's actually all really awful, but I guess it's in the nature of
 software who's distribution files are expected to be edited in unknown
 ways in the normal course of using the software.
