 *     math/numpy           Makefile 
 *     x11/pythonqt         Makefile 
 *   Log:
 *   Mark these ports broken.  They are not happy with python upgrades.

I don't know how to handle cases like this correctly, but I think in
general a mail from the "depended" port maintainer to "depending" port
maintainers would be nice.  If you can coordinate your efforts and
commit your changes all at once, even better.

At a minimum, I would like to have the "depended" port upgrade being
accompanied by the "depending" ports being marked broken.  That way a
top-down package building won't die in the middle and I don't have to
figure out what's going on myself (which should have been obvious to
the committer but not to users, including myself).

Now, in this case, all three maintainers are actually one person (or
at least they share the same mail address), so I'm just going to
assume you just forgot to commit changes to other ports, Thomas.
Please mark these ports unbroken when you rectify that. :)

Satoshi
