 I just spent roughly two nights to hit the same problem; I'm developing
 a KDE frontend to the ports system
 <http://www.student.uni-oldenburg.de/frerich.raabe/barry>, and a feature of
 that frontend is that it can (or rather, it tries to) find unused packages.
 It does so by checking all plists for the installed packages, looking for
 whether there's at least one file in a plist which hasn't been accessed in
 the last n days. If that's true, the respective package might be subject
 for removal, and is suggested as such.
 
 Unfortunately, since this bug exists, the atime of executables (which I use
 for determining when a file has last been accessed, of course) does not get
 bumped when the executable gets run, hence the port frontend keeps
 suggesting things like "gmake", even though I run that on a daily basis.
 
 I'd really appreciate it if you could fix this bug, at least for FreeBSD 5.1.
 Thanks!
