 Write an interactive command-line tool that can be used instead of the non-interactive port(1). (The existing "interactive mode" of port(1) is actually just batch mode reading from stdin, and is not really interactive.) Factor out code used by both tools into a shared module.
 
-An interactive tool would ask for user input to resolve many situations that cause port(1) to simply error out. 
-All the suggested interactivity use cases are listed below-
-1. If you try to install a port and one of its dependencies conflict with something already installed, it could ask if you want to 
-   deactivate the installed one and its dependents and reactivate them after the build.
-2. When trying to install a port but one of the files installed by this port is already present, ask the user whether the file should be
-   overwritten.
-3. When a user tries to install a port, display a list of ports that will be installed as dependencies and ask for confirmation (unless
-   there aren't any dependencies to be installed), like apt-get does.
-4. Asking for permission in a situation where uninstalling a package will break another package that's still installed and depends on   
-   the to-be-uninstalled package.
-5. When installing a port that requires a dependency to have a certain variant, but this variant is not set. Ask the user if it should  
-   reinstall the dependency with that variant.
-6. When activate is ambiguous, present a list of installed ports for the user to choose from.
-7. Ask user before rebuilding in rev-upgrade.
-8. When a user uninstalls a port using --follow-dependencies, the list of dependencies will be displayed and the user will be asked for  
-   confirmation.
