Yeah!  Being able to do everything around ports as a regular user 
(indeed one simply is not always root, for example in the environment 
where I started to use FreeBSD) is a Really Good Thing[TM].

Thank you.

Gerald


PS: On a related note, `make package` no longer requires an 
explicit INSTALL_AS_USER=1 when operating as a regular user, 
nor do `make regression-test` or 'make check-orphans.  Nice!

PPS: `make install` and `make deinstall` still do, which is
a change from the old days, but it seems that is by design?
