Is pkg_deleting a port and then reinstalling it the best/only way
to upgrade a port when the software involved has gone up a version?
If so, maybe the packing list should mark some files as ``hard'' that
should stay after a pkg_delete, perhaps if a ``keep hard'' flag has 
been given. For ports that install stuff that should stay across an
upgrade.
