I rewrote -slid to hopefully not list build dependencies because people were 
complaining, I don't think its perfect yet but it should be close. -sl I 
didn't touch, so its likely to be  very buggy.  Once I  know the main core of 
portmanager is stable I'll devote more time to going over -sl and -slid.

I went ahead and loaded/tested java today, even after the patch I sent you, 
there were still problems.  They are resolved now but all the changes are in 
a new tarball, if you want it do this:

rm -r /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager/files
rm -f /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager/disinfo
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanage
in the Makefile change the version to 0.3.3
then 

make, make deinstall,make reinstall clean

It'll fetch the new tarball but complain about no distinfo, you can ignore 
that.
