Ticket #16235 (closed enhancement: fixed)
portindex should support not reindexing ports that don't need it

Description
The portindex script takes several minutes to reindex all of our ports, and this will only get worse as the number of ports grows. Often all that one wants to do is add a new port to the index, or update a single port's entry in the index. portindex should provide a way to accomplish that more quickly than rebuilding the entire index.
This was initially suggested on macports-dev by Joshua Root.
