8d67096409 There have been a number of upgrade failure reports, and most of them seem 
to stem from external dependencies not getting updated. (Here, external
dependencies are ports which do NOT depend upon glib20.) I'm suspecting that
the cause of this is inconsistent package databases. Inconsistent pkgdbs will
cause portupgrade(1) to silently fail, but portinstall and pkg_delete will
still work just fine. (I really wish gnu had agreed to make pkgdb(1) return
meaningful error codes -- or any error codes at all!)

So, instead of running pkgdb -F, we're now running pkgdb -fu. This will
hopefully rebuild the entire database from scratch, and leave us with a
consistent database every time. And just in case, we follow it with a
pkgdb -F for good measure.

Additionally, I've changed the script's version number to be a bit more
legible, and thus a bit more meaningful.

Also, there is now a -v option which prints some basic version/revision
information.

I'd like to thank Alexandre Vasconcelos's horribly inconsistent package
database for inspiring the pkgdb change ;;)

2b425e4e27 Apply some important fixes to the GNOME upgrade script that I really 
really really should have applied earlier.

	* On a restart, continue where we left off, instead of removing
	  all applications and starting over again. The end result will
	  be the same either way, but if you're not using ccache(1), the
	  build time can be really frustrating.

	* When the script runs pkgdb(1), pkgdb complains about the
	  nautilus-media port having been removed. Add a message to
	  inform users not to worry about it, and to just hit Enter
	  to ignore the error.

	* GNOME_UPGRADE_SH_VER bump.

So, nuke the images/team directory, and put all the images into
