By default, any port specified on the tinderbuild command line will be
forcibly rebuild.  For example, if x11/gnome2 has already been built
into a package, and I run:

./tinderbuild -b 6.3-FreeBSD x11/gnome2

Then x11/gnome2 will be remade.  However, if I specify -norebuild, then
the command above will effectively be a no-op unless the PKGNAME of
x11/gnome2 has changed.
