Doug, I feel no resentment on criticism of portupgrade. I know it's not 
perfect. You know too, otherwise you did not start portmaster I think :)

My purpose is to fix portupgrade with as little modifications as it's 
possible just because I have no time (and motivations) to rewrite 
algorithms completely. Moreover, I think somebody who have more time and 
ruby skills should support it. But for three years I've got it, only two 
little patches (a few lines) was sent to me.

If somebody wants to help, sources are on SourceForge. Send me patches 
and ask a write access if you feel you can.

Thank you. I can't add much to your answers.
