Well, I just might be able to write a dirty perl
script that would add to thousands of useless ports.
However, if there a busy soul with much knowledge
and an ability to guide, I think I'll be able to
produce some nice code with little of his help :)

I'm now thinking learning ruby and examining
portupgrade's code carefully. 6-9 months at least.

Best wishes,
Andrew P.
