I got pointed to pkg_version the other day, and just love it .. have been
cleaning up my system ever since ...
Just curious as to why this isn't used more though? For instance, why not
use it to check for an older version of the port and upgrade accordingly,
doing a pkg_delete on the old one before installing the new, if possible?
