 `port outdated`'s output can be a little confusing when the epoch is
 incremented but the version and revision are kept the same.  For example:

 {{{
 openssl                        0.9.8k_0 < 0.9.8k_0
 }}}

 I've attached a patch that (1) sets the flag field and (2) additionally
 displays the epochs when the above situation occurs.  For example:

 {{{
 foobar                         0.1_0_0 < 0.1_0_5        E
 }}}
