I today noticed the "pkg autoremove" command for the first time, which does much the same thing as
pkg_cutleaves but relies on the "automatic" flag in the pkgng database rather than user input to
determine which "leaf" ports can be removed. Unfortunately, the pkg2ng utility has no way of
knowing which old-style packages it converts were installed automatically as dependencies, so they are all
marked as non-automatic (i.e. user-requested). In my case, this was not true for the majority of installed
ports. Since I really like this functionality, I decided to update my local package database to match my
preferences.
Having succeeded, I decided a tool to make doing so easy could well benefit others (as
well as my future self). (Plus I wanted an excuse to play with dialog(1) and "pkg
query" a bit.) So here's the result. I'm not too attached to the name. It shouldn't
eat your package database or steal your lunch money, but I'm not responsible if it does.
Other than that, feedback is welcome.

You want to use `pkg set -A` :)
We make zero promises concerning the SQL schema in pkgng so it can
change at every time and break your script.
