Hi all,

It would be handy to have some way of obtaining or listing all the
slave ports of a given port; for example, when a change is made to the
code of the master requiring a PORTREVISION bump (such as the security
patch I'm about to commit to ispell) the slaves should all have their
PORTREVISIONS bumped also since they'll automatically pick up the
change.  Currently the only way to find these is a cumbersome find |
grep; I wonder if we can do better.  The obvious solution is just to
list all of the slaves explicitly in the parent (e.g. in a comment),
but that's open to becoming stale.  Any other ideas?

Kris
