As a reminder to committers, when removing stale ports, you also have to
check the _optional_ dependencies in port Makefiles (yes, this involves
a grep over the entire 17k+ Makefiles).  It's a complete PITA, but it's
necessary, but often overlooked.

I speak as one who has triggered this particular bomb before :-)
