which ports require dialog during update

Sometimes, perhaps when selecting options results in subsequent dialogs, 'make config-recursive' doesn't do all the first time, meaning I get subsequent dialogs.

I run 'make config-recursive' repeatedly until it just returns to the command prompt with no more dialogs.

I like to

make package-recursive | & tee build.log

so as to have a record especially if not all goes well; this applies equally for
'make install clean'

I like to have all config dialogs done and out of the way.
