Description
I think it would be great to add a warning message if port is launched as a non root user. I use a lot the root user without sudo (even though the practice is questionable). If I forget to go root or add sudo port selfupdate will fail with macports::selfupdate [array get global_options] base_updated. Adding a warning such as "Cannot run port as a normal user! please use sudo or login as the root user!" would be helpful as I have already seen people posting this issue on stackoverflow.
