It does indeed, thank you! I think it's fairly functional right now for 
my regular use.

One minor nit I've noticed is that it even tries to update installed 
ports that have a higher version number than the one currently in the 
ports tree (for instance, some updated ports I haven't submitted yet). 
Although not too important for the casual user, it could be useful to 
have some means to avoid downgrading these ports.


Thanks again,

Panagiotis
