Precedence: bulk

It runs "mail $MAINTAINER" for each port that has particular obvious
problems; I write the email by hand because of the need to interpret
the program's output.  I should probably uniq the $MAINTAINERS and send
one mongo email instead of a bunch of little ones.

And, of course, the fallout from the initial run is much larger than
it will be on an ongoing basis.  If I can work around the perl/db
problems that I'm having (boy, do I love it when interpreters dump core)
then this will run weekly (or so) and will hopefully only find a couple
of things wrong per run.
