After the large removal of several ports that had been deprecated upstream,
a log of things broke due to not finding linked dynamic shareable
libraries. These included at least x11/xset and x11/mate-screensaver. There
are likely more. This resulted in a barely usable environment.

All that was required was to rebuild the ports, but affected ports really
needed a PORTREVISION bump to avoid this. Once they go into the quarterly
(unless a full build of all ports is done for the quarterly) the problems I
saw will likely pop up for a lot more people. I still have not figured out
how to get my volume control buttons to work again. If I can't track it
down I'll probably file a bug report. Clues appreciated!

Running 12.1-STABLE r354672 and MATE. All ports are current.
