When a port's shared library major version changes, is there some
mechanism for notifiying/updating all the ports that depend on it?

E.g., if a port has:

     LIB_DEPENDS=            expat.3:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/expat2

Then this port will break because now it needs to depend on 'expat.4'
instead of 'expat.3'.

It would be nice if there were some automated way of notifying the
affected ports maintainers when this happens...

Thanks,
-Archie
