I guess my approach to updates with portupgrade does not apply well to 
portmaster since portupgrade does not update dependencies by default. On 
a sliglty out of date box i would start updating dependencies such as 
libraries (portupgrade lib\*) before i would do the actual programs, and 
this would only update what needed an update instead of rebuilding 
everything. I just never felt comfortable for some reason using the -R 
option in portupgrade. You are probably right that this is not needed, 
i'll just have to change my habbits. Sorry for the noise, and thanks for 
the work on this port.
