When I do a mass pkg_comp build, often something fails.  Sunday, for 
example, kdelibs3 wouldn't build because of a pcre problem; today, 
htdig failed because htdig.org was *very* slow and the ftp timed out.
How do I retry the build *without* recompiling everything?

What I did yesterday was to see what packages I had in packages/All and 
put them in AUTO_PACKAGES.  That's annoying and slow, because I don't 
need to do that for everything there; even KDE doesn't require every 
package we've got (though it comes close at times....).

Is there a better way?  Or should I just give up on 'pkg_comp auto'?
