I sort of figured that after I posted, since make and build seem to become
more and more interchangeable.  Is there a recursive flag to "make?"  Does
portupgrade (which can work(s) on the entire /usr/ports/ tree I understand)
have a flag to run all the make install and make patch etc commands once
all port files have been updated?

Last question, an after-thought really: Are "beta" vs "final" relevant?
