commited in the archivemode branch - i really think this is part of an upgrade technology, and it therefore belongs in the archivemode branch (where upgrade lives).

I wrote this patch because it provides functionality I, and other people, need now. Irrigardless of whether we have a single statement "port update" command, it's still important to know which ports are out-of- date. We do, after all, have two statement update: "port -f uninstall; port install".

This patch provides functionality needed by the community now, and it doesn't conflict with anything on the archive-mode branch. In fact they've committed this patch to that branch.

Let's get this into HEAD where people can benefit from it now. Let's not tie it to archive mode, which has an unknown ship date.
