Please add a new action to uninstalll a port and its dependencies

[ebgssth@…]

I'd like to have a port action which allow me to uninstalll a port and its dependencies.

Please take a look at below. Currently there's no way to uninstall python25 and all py25-ports at once. The new action would, in this case, removes listed py25-ports and its dependencies recursively and finally uninstalll python25.

sudo port uninstall python25
--->  Unable to uninstall python25 2.5.2_1+darwin_7, the following ports depend on it:
--->    py25-numeric
--->    py25-lxml
--->    py25-xml
--->    py25-zlib
--->    py25-hashlib
--->    py25-readline
--->    py25-formencode
--->    py25-sqlobject

Fixed in r34977. Note that I was unable to test what happens if you have multiple different versions of dependents installed, so that may fail.

port man page issue is unrelated with this. Just ignore it.

Ok, this should be fixed in r35042. Please let me know if it doesn't work.
