This month, the transition from buildlink to buildlink2 was completed
(thanks, Johnny and everyone else), and we gained platform-specific
MESSAGE and PLIST handling, thanks to Grant Beattie.

The Package of the Month award goes to pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgdepgraph,
nominated by Andrew Brown - you'll need graphviz to look at the
dependency graph that it produces, but the output is quite
fascinating.
