Hi Doug,

I just tried to upgrade from math/libgmp4 to math/gmp after refreshing
my ports tree.  math/gmp has superseded math/libgmp4, so I used
portmaster's -o option to upgrade from a new origin, e.g.:

    portmaster -o math/gmp math/libgmp4

I've done this in the past with no problem, but this time, the old port
had already been marked DEPRECATED, and portmaster refused to continue
the upgrade. I commented out the DEPRECATED variable in
math/libgmp4/Makefile, and reran portmaster with no trouble.

Would it be possible to detect when -o is being used for an upgrade and
ignore DEPRECATED on the previous port?

Thank you,
Greg
