Are you thinking something like:

- get list of files to be activated and populate the registry
- start to actually activate the files
- update the registry stating that activate finished

with the ability to either auto-detect and attempt to rollback a non-completed activate (maybe on the next run) and/or a 'port cleanup_interupted_acctivate' command?
