 When the command "port upgrade outdated" is run, the port program goes
 through the outdated ports alphabetically one by one.  However, if it
 encounters an error, it displays the error message and quits leaving the
 remaining outdated ports not upgraded.

 I encountered this problem recently, when cmake error blocked pretty much
 everything not upgraded for a while, and VLC error blocked all the xorg-*
 ports from getting upgraded.

 Even though it's possible to feed the port names one by one to the "port
 upgrade" command after getting the outdated list, it would be a nice
 behavior for the port command to skip to the next port, if there's an
 error.

 Just a thought...
