 Currently, reinplace will print a warning ("reinplace didn't change
 anything in ...") if nothing got replaced. I would like to change this to
 an error. This will ensure that developers can't forget to change a
 reinplace that needs to be adjusted when updating a port.

 It had been my hope that developers would take note of the reinplace
 warnings and make the necessary changes to their ports, but in many cases
 this has not happened. There are many open tickets about reinplaces that
 do nothing that have been open for years, some more than 10 years, any
 many more such issues that have gone unreported. Changing the warning to
 an error will prevent those ports from installing. That may be a good
 thing as it will finally force maintainers to do what they were warned
 years ago to do.
