 I love how easy it is with port select to switch between versions.

 But finding out which of the ports I have installed support port select is
 tricky.
 I have to google to find http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8016692/on-
 macports-what-ports-are-supported-by-port-select and then I see

 {{{
 $ ls /opt/local/etc/select
 clang     cython    gcc       ipython   llvm      mysql     nosetests pep8
 python    qt4       scala     sphinx
 $ port select --show gcc
 The currently selected version for 'gcc' is 'mp-gcc47'.
 $ port select --show python
 The currently selected version for 'python' is 'python27'.
 }}}

 Would it be possible to have one command (e.g. called --summary) that
 shows an overview table:
 {{{
 $ port select --summary
 Portgroup   Selected   Options
 gcc         mp-gcc47   none llvm-gcc42 mp-gcc45 mp-gcc47 mp-llvm-gcc42
 python      python27   none python27 python32
 ...
 }}}
