Can we get /var/db/pkg globbing? Say, to be able to 

portmaster lftp

instead of

portmaster lftp-3.3.5 ?

An option to update all outdated ports on the system would be nice.

I was updating gaim with several outdated dependencies, -i mode only
asked on some dependencies, it went to update others without asking.
Perhaps -i is not passed to child invocations?

What about shlib preservation in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg as
portupgrade does?

Otherwise I quite like it.
