That doesn't do what Martin asked for.  It only tells you
if a specific port has an update, but it won't tell you
if the default version of a port changed.  For example,
when the default version of Python was changed from 2.6
to 2.7.  It also won't tell you if the origin of a port
doesn't exist anymore at all.
