This is easier said than done. The output of port installed unrequested has 461 items; most of which I don't recognize. Lynx is there and I know I want that. But the first port listed is a52dec. I don't know what that is, or what it does or whether or not I want it. I also see atk, automake, bison, harfbuzz, and many others which mean nothing to me. Sure, I can do some research to figure out what each of these does, but then I will still have no idea whether or not I want them. Did I request some in the distant past? Am I still using them? No idea. It seems to be a very daunting task.
