New Feature
===========
1. Add --check-port-dbdir to clean stale entries from /var/db/ports [1]
Since the definition of PORT_DBDIR is now used in more than one place,
add it to the initialization routine at the top.

General Improvements
====================
1. Add a 'nonfatal' option to find_moved_port() so that when it's
called in a context where we don't care about a port that has been
deleted (such as distfile listing) it doesn't exit. Add some code to
that function to tell -L that the port has been deleted.

2. Deal with ports that require user interaction to fetch by checking
first whether MASTER_SITES is empty before running 'make checksum'.
This should solve the problem of portmaster unintentionally deleting
the distfiles for java ports, inter alia. [2]

3. Improve kill_bad_children() by using process group id [3]

4. Don't call kill_bad_children() in safe_exit() without reason.

a. Implement this for the distinfo child process by flagging the first
line of the file and checking for a file with -s instead of just -e.
b. Implement this for -F mode by flagging when all the background
processes have finished.

This should result in less of those annoying 'Terminated' messages

5. Move the start of read_distinfos() until after we are sure that we
are going to try building the port.

Small Fixups
============
1. When update_contents() finds something odd when updating a port
suggest using --check-depends to clean it up.

2. In check_for_update() avoid having variables that differ only by case

3. In update_port() recurse with just the port to update [3]

4. In dependency_check() run check_interactive() for installed
versions that need updating.

5. Update copyright
