I filed two Bugzilla bugs, 193000 and 193002 to keep track of this, feel
free to comment, and if there are new issues, feel free to file new bugs
and mark them "blocks: 193000", so we have 193000 as the master bug as a
central collecting point.

There's also discussion going on behind the scenes (with portmgr) about
the db4.8 deprecation, we are currently unsure about the *coin (bitcoin
and derivatives) and about twister.

I have deprecated memcachedb because it has no users in the ports tree.

If someone feels this is wrong, please speak up - either here, or
through Bugzilla.
