Forcing port reinstalls without rebuilding over and over again

[Paul Schmehl]

Is there a way, using portmaster, to force the rebuild of all ports without 
rebuilding the same ports over and over and over again?

I've noticed that using portmaster -f forces the rebuild of every 
dependency. I think I've now rebuild perl and python at least 20 or 30 
times. Once should be enough. I guess if you're going to rebuild 
everything, it would be ok to ignore dependencies for ports, since they're 
all going to be rebuilt anyway.

What's the magic potion for that?
