 * I was thinking about this the other day - people have been finding
 * recently that some of the BROKEN ports are actually in perfect working order,
 * since the conditions which caused them to be marked as such have gone away
 * (transient net problem, change in the FreeBSD source tree that fixes the
 * problem, or just committer error).
 * 
 * Including ports which are marked BROKEN in your automatic package building
 * would discover these false negatives (at the expense of building probably lots
 * of packages which are legitimately broken).

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing recently. :)

I just made a change that will let the next full build descend into
the BROKEN ports too.  Unfortunately, that will be the final build
before 3.1R.  I hope there isn't any nasty side effects on this.
