Suggested mod for gnome_upgradeXXX.sh

[Jeremy Messenger]

We will be no longer need gnome_upgradeXXX.sh in the future version of  
GNOME. Bless to the ltverhack that fix libtool bug. Upgrade GNOME 2.12 to  
2.14 (still in MC) was a lot easier than any previous version, which it  
can be done with portupgrade now. About four to five steps to do it.  
Here's what I did with GNOME 2.12 to 2.14:

	pkgdb -Ff (need for gst stuff)
	portupgrade -f -o net/avahi howl-\*
	portupgrade -a
	portupgrade -f -o x11/gnome-screensaver xscreensaver-gnome-\*

The steps might be change if there is any better. Like might be best to  
follow UPDATING before do the portupgrade -a.

Cheers,
Mezz
