It does indeed, thank you! I think it's fairly functional right now for
my regular use.
One minor nit I've noticed is that it even tries to update installed
ports that have a higher version number than the one currently in the
ports tree (for instance, some updated ports I haven't submitted yet).
Although not too important for the casual user, it could be useful to
have some means to avoid downgrading these ports.
Thanks again,
Panagiotis
