"the best" port update tool

[Scot Hetzel]

While the portmanager, portupgrade, and portmaster tools allow you to
keep your specific port options in a file, they are incompatible with
each other and when building directly from /usr/ports, as the port
options in these seperate files are not available to the other tools
or to /usr/ports.  This deficiency has been fixed with the
sysutils/portconf port, where you can specify your port options in
PREFIX/etc/ports.conf file, and these tools and direct building from
/usr/ports will use these port options.

For example if you need a global WRKDIRPREFIX, you can use the
following in the ports.conf file:

*/*: WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj
