Actually you can ditch it anyway, all of the library are either part of 6.0 or
left behind from 5.4, but it's good to rebuild.

The trouble with portupgrade -af is that it is not restartable. I'd use
either the latest portmanager, or something like:
portupgrade -f '<2005-11-30 20:37' See pkg_glob(1)

If you use BATCH=yes, most ports will do their best to come up with sensible
settings based on the arguments you supply.
