Basically, just the timestamp on the file.  If it's newer than the last
time cache-update was run, then the corresponding port needs rechecking.

Or if there is a new options file.  The 'unknown options file' error
comes about by comparing the makefiles included from the ports with the
contents of the /var/db/ports directory.

... and thinking about it, after the benefit of sufficient coffee, it's
now clear to me that logic is incorrect: it can't distinguish between a
newly created options file and a leftover from a removed port.

Does no harm, but won't work out that because there's a new options file
at least one port needs rechecking, or identify the port(s) to recheck.
 I should fix that.

	Cheers,
