This change in behavior constantly annoys me. I run an install, leave the
computer unattended for a while, and come back to find it didn't actually
install because it was waiting for me to confirm. I want an option to
assume that I meant it when I said `port install foo`.
The `-R` option that only applies to `upgrade` looks like the closest
existing option; I think it would be ok to have `install -R` also install
dependencies without asking. If the different directions of having the
same option mean "upgrade with dependents" and "install with dependencies"
might be confusing, maybe `-r`. I really don't care what the option is,
only what it does.
