These messages are usually available using `port notes`. For example, you
can print all notes for all dependencies of gimp using

 $> port notes rdepof:gimp

MacPorts 2.4 will store the notes and display them in a single block at the
end of your installation. For this to work correctly if you're pressing ^C
we're also implementing signal handling, which is taking us a while. If
you'd like to test that, use trunk (but don't complain about breakage by
other new features).
