Portmaster ignoring +IGNOREME??

It's impossible for me to debug this properly without knowing the 
command line options you used. I'm guessing from your description of the 
problem that you used at least -r and -u.

If I understand the problem correctly, the attached patch will fix it. 
Please confirm this for me when you can.

If you don't use -u, there is a pause between the end of the failed 
build and the display of the pkg-message files. If you do use -u it's 
assumed that you are able to handle the consequences of doing so.

I actually suggest that people stop using -u, and I am seriously 
considering just removing it. It doesn't do what people apparently think 
it should do, and it's caused way more trouble than it's worth.
