ah. nice thought. something that kicks in when /var/db/pkg/* is modified in any
way - independent of which application changes /var/db/pkg/* (not sure if this
can be implemented now...but maybe all of pkg_* , portmaster,etc can be
modified...).

I currently keep track of this using SVN and 2 test files : one with pkgs
installed + versions, and the other just with origin directories (which is more
useful when I want to know port was added or removed, rather than upgraded).

definitely more thinking needed...but i like where this is going ;)
