I'm not sure the Handbook has the vocation to talk about all available
tools to manage ports and packages.  What is bpkg?  Is it a reliable
tool that has been extensively tested and recommended by the ports
developers?  This port has been added on 24 June 2007...
Now, the Handbook talk about: portupgrade, portmanager and bpkg, and I'm
sure some will object we should talk about portmaster.
According to what I see in /usr/ports/UPDATING we should only document
both portupgrade and portmaster, then point people to ports/ports-mgmt/
if they want to experiment other tools.
