I'd like to add the following to /etc/weekly.  Does anyone have any 
objections ?  The down-side is that people who install the ports 
collection but don't update their system very frequently suffer the 
wasted processing time.  An alternative might be to maintain a touch 
file (/var/db/pkg_version_check ?) and compare it's time against 
/usr/ports/INDEX.  If the touch file is older (or doesn't exist), 
touch it and do the check.

Comments ?
