I have update the marcusmerge.1, so here's an attach of it. Umm, portupgrade.. It's good idea, but I am not sure where I should put? Well, I am not sure thought.. BTW: CC'ing to freebsd-gnome... Oh.. I forgot to add your credit in it.. I am editing it in my local right now, so it should be in there before commit in MarcusCom CVS..
