If changes to the format of /usr/ports/UPDATING are going to be made, I'd
appreciate knowing in advance.  FreshPorts now parses this file and
includes the results under the relevant port[s], if that can be
determined.

We are doing pretty well so far.  FreshPorts can handle the shell globs
which have been used, although it could not handle the (x11/kdebase3)
which occurred in the most recent commit.

The perl script is available at:

 http://beta.freshports.org/process_updating.pl

but you'll have to comment out some calls if you're going to get it to run
outside the FreshPorts environment.

Cheers
