Todd Miller has just committed a BIG includes changes that affects C++
in a major way.

it will take a few hours of work until the ports tree catches up, and
a few days before binary packages are available.

In short: the C++ ABI changed in an incompatible way, all C++ shared library
major versions will be bumped.

hence, the SHARED_LIBS sweep (which is now more or less complete).

If you want to build ports from source, I advise you:
- to wait a few days until the dust settles;
- to remove existing packages before rebuilding.

This should NOT affect binary package users. The current pkg_add -u code
should cope just fine. You will just see quite a bit of traffic, since
quite a few C++ libraries need to be updated.
