For future reference, /usr/ports/UPDATING and http://www.freshports.org are good places to check when you see massive updates like this. This one is, in fact, explained in UPDATING. Since libtool is a build dependency you're probably safe not upgrading everything unless you're like me and depend on portversion/pkg_version to tell you when things need updating. Later, Micah
