Im not saying because its in portupgrade it needs to be in portmaster. 
I'm simply saying that it's a useful feature for me, and possibly 
others. It also doesnt make sense to me to have an option to explicitly 
force rebuilds of ports that don't need an update, but have no option to 
disable rebuilds.
