just upgraded everything about 3 weeks ago. Did I miss something or
did something big come down the pipe that caused a major number of
ports to be updated? Or is this just coincidence? Just curious.



They killed libtool-1.3.5 and all of the ports that used it had to be
upgraded to depend on 1.5.22.
