OMFGBBQWTF, this is the worst SF project I have ever dealt with. Their version
numbers, what is listed on the website, what is listed in their file repo etc.,
its like a one legged turtle. Upside down. Thanks for taking the time to look
that up.

Well that is damn handy. How do I do something like this though:
port echo rdepof:~/Desktop/Portfile
Ok, so I got it installed now, yay!
$port echo rdepof:ASSP and not installed
unzip
$port installed | grep -i assp
ASSP @1.7.1.5_0 (active)
$grep 'port\:' Portfile

Here are a few more after reading more of the man page for `port`
$port list rdependentof ASSP
assp @1.1.0 mail/assp
$port list dependentof ASSP
assp @1.1.0 mail/assp
$port list depof ASSP
assp @1.1.0 mail/assp
$port list rdepof ASSP
assp @1.1.0 mail/assp
$port echo depof:ASSP
perl5
unzip
Huh?
$port dependents ASSP
ASSP has no dependents.

Cool, thanks. I may give that script a try myself, sounds like a quick and
semi-fun one.
Did MacPorts get significantly faster, I just popped the version on this to
1.7.1.5 and while I understand MP's can't make things compile any faster, the
text that was scrolling by that was MP's based stuff, felt a heck of a lot
faster. If it did, good work to everyone involved, it is certainly something I
can feel, which generally means at least 20% improvement.
Thanks for the help.
