 The commands '''port lint foo''' and '''port livecheck foo''' should not
 require write access at the root level to anything. Perhaps we should
 distinguish between commands that make changes that should survive the
 port operation and those that should not survive the port operation (The
 results of the '''fetch, extract, patch, configure, build, destroot,
 archive, install, activate, etc...''' commands need to be maintained after
 port has finished, but this is not true for '''lint''' and
 '''livecheck''')
