We'll see.  If others object strongly before it's time for the next
release, I'll revert.  If anyone wants to suggest an alternate flow,
that would be good, too.  My eyes never seemed to quickly make it to the
category line:

building libcanberra-0.6_5 on gohan33.freebsd.org
in directory /x/tmp/8/20081218140000/chroot/83
building for: 8.0-CURRENT i386
maintained by: gnome at FreeBSD.org
port directory: /usr/ports/audio/libcanberra

I'd always get stuck on the second line.
