Upgrade script is supposedly no longer needed after
GNOME 2.8 to 2.9 upgrade. It was always faster to take
their list of 'order of install' and do it manually.
OR strip it out and install from scratch...
Otherwise some items were built several times over
by siccessive recursive makes...
FWIW, last time I did GNOME on DragonFlyBSD from
a cold-start it worked with a simple pkg_add -rv
('bout a month ago now...)
Installing Xfce-4 atop it the same way made for a speedier
machine and still had access to the GNOME-ish stuff.
