Time to abandon recursive pulling of dependencies?

I also need to quickly look up origin -> pkgname and would suggest
placing this in the INDEX file. Then you have the foundation in place to
be able to run 'make vim-7.1.2.tbz' in, say, /usr/ports/ and it will
first create gettext-x.y.tbz and stuff. Ie, it could resolve/build
dependencies *before* even starting the build in editors/vim.

This then quickly leads to parallel pkg builds working (think: make -j3
vim-7.x.y.tbz)
