As a reminder to committers, when removing stale ports, you also have to
check the _optional_ dependencies in port Makefiles (yes, this involves
a grep over the entire 17k+ Makefiles). It's a complete PITA, but it's
necessary, but often overlooked.
I speak as one who has triggered this particular bomb before :-)
