Pandoc already has two purposes: it is a standalone application, and
it is already used as a battery for gitit [1] and Bookshelf [2], for
example.

I found only 5 erlang ports (at first glance, no "erlang" category).
Ports in "java" are really connected by the common category :P (but
still 55 ports). But I like the python way, and I am leaning towards
to propose a "cabal" virtual category.

To get updates? :)

Yes, that is right. Hold on a bit... I am just reading the Handbook:
"Include the -R flag if portupgrade should first upgrade all the ports
required by the given application."
And the man page for portupgrade(1) says this for -R (for --upward-recursive):
"Act on all those packages _required by the given packages_ as well.
(When specified with -F , fetch recursively, including the brand new,
uninstalled ports that an upgraded port requires)"
Which means that
# portupgrade -R ghc-*
Updates my GHC and its _dependencies_?
However, as a side effect, all the Cabal ports might be uninstalled as
well, but it makes this solution more hackish. Ah, you wanted to say
this:
# portupgrade -r ghc-*

Cool, thanks!
