>Description:

	The default operation of portcheckout is to write the shell
	to stdout, making it's obvious and least error prone method
	of running it live to be:

		portcheckout some-package-name  | sh         

	However, this breaks all ports which prompt for input during
	the fetch stage, such as postfix.

>How-To-Repeat:

	portcheckout --fetch  postfix-20010525_1  | sh         

>Fix:

	Modify portcheckout to support an option of actually running
	the generated shell script using a temporary file or other
	one-step method.
