I today noticed the "pkg autoremove" command for the first time, which =
does much the same thing as pkg_cutleaves but relies on the "automatic" =
flag in the pkgng database rather than user input to determine which =
"leaf" ports can be removed. Unfortunately, the pkg2ng utility has no =
way of knowing which old-style packages it converts were installed =
automatically as dependencies, so they are all marked as non-automatic =
(i.e. user-requested). In my case, this was not true for the majority of =
installed ports. Since I really like this functionality, I decided to =
update my local package database to match my preferences.

Having succeeded, I decided a tool to make doing so easy could well =
benefit others (as well as my future self). (Plus I wanted an excuse to =
play with dialog(1) and "pkg query" a bit.) So here's the result. I'm =
not too attached to the name. It shouldn't eat your package database or =
steal your lunch money, but I'm not responsible if it does. Other than =
that, feedback is welcome.

# This script presents a checklist of all PKGNG packages registered on
# the system, showing for each whether or not it is marked as =
"automatic"
# (i.e. not explicitly requested by the user). Any changes are recorded
# in the PKGNG database. I wrote it to make "pkg autoremove" useful
# following a pkg2ng migration, but other uses are conceivable.
