Excellent! While we discussed this at the ports BOF at EuroBSDCon, it
was suggested to have a knob for deciding whether to run 
"${RC_SCRIPT} restart" on updating a port -- it has to be configurable
since the administrator might want fine-grained control. Any chance of
adding this as sugar on top?

Cheers,
