Macports is run entirely by volunteers, none of whom get paid to do it.

If you want some new functionality, the best way to get it is to work  
on it and offer it to the community.

If we had a test-build system of some sort set up, it would be  
possible to at least tag ports as building successfully or not....  
(hint hint).

You could upgrade with -dv and redirect the output to a file so you  
could go back and look at it later.
