Yay, we've talked about this quite a lot, and there's the simple and always
working way, but maybe somewhat overkill sometime, that poudriere is doing
right now, and there is the way that *always* gets out *exactly* *right*
what package to rebuild, and what package not to rebuild.  That second way
of doing things would be a monsterously beast of bugridden code, and take
so much reverse engineering into each package to figure out what it needs
it would certainly take more time in the end.
