 I'd really like to see:
 
     -pre-install:
     +pre-su-install:
 
 committed right away.  I don't see a need to delay that fix.

 I'd really like to hold off on the rest of this patch until /usr/ports is
 totally unfrozen and we can do some ARCH clean ups that is needed.  Then
 we can have a good base to investigate issues from.
