It is broken not because of me or my hardware.  And mind you, there are lots
of folks who build ports on not-so-superfast MIPS and ARMs; sparc64 are also
quite slow compared to modern x86, even not so archaic ones.

Even on my superfast Q9550, where I care less for build times, I still would
like to avoid needless port rebuilds.

I don't see why it cannot work the old way, just as described in PHB section
5.2.2.1.  That is, bump port revision when something is wrong with previous
package.  Fixed typos or added license do not render previous packages wrong.
Ditto for staging, maintainership changes or other things that are not user-
noticeable.
