Comment (by mojca):

 My hope was to support any expression that's supported by MacPorts. Like
 in the example above, it would be really nice if I was able to write
 something like
 "`maintainer:mojca and category:math`" in the `portname` field. Then we
 could do arbitrary expressions and build ports by categories or by their
 first letter or whatever else.

 If `uninstalled` means what I think it does, then we could theoretically
 easily build all ports that depend on `some-importart-port-that-has-been-
 broken-for-a-week` which have not been built yet. (I don't know if we can
 currently construct the list of dependent ports; maybe not yet.)

 If implemented properly, we'll get all the flexibility nearly for free.
