Actually I believe he is talking about ports that are interactive on
install (not build).  Most (if not all) of these have been fixed to
not require interaction during package builds (nay installs) ...

# Perhaps sysinstall should be fixed?  If that is not possible, we can

... which is why I suggested to Jordan (in a private mail apparently
because I haven't seen it come through) that a *very* hackish solution
of handling ports like pine4 would be to add the following lines to
the appropriate spot in sysinstall.

	setenv("PACKAGE_BUILDING", "t", 1);
	setenv("BATCH", "t", 1);
