I was afraid I was being redundant.  Sorry for the noise.  I'll keep
that little auto-notification tidbit in mind.  I know the fetchindex
works, but I was suspicious that the autogenerated index might be a
few days old because I thought I saw a port being updated that I had
installed but wasn't showing up in the "portversion -L =" output.
