I'd like to submit the port(s) today or tomorrow. In total, I'll be
submitting 13 ports, so before I send anything I'd like to discuss the
format of the submission. The port dependency tree is the following:

devel/med
graphics/pcl
	math/flann
graphics/py-pivy
graphics/vtk
	math/cgns
	math/exprtk
	math/verdict
	devel/cli11
misc/orocos-kdl
cad/netgen
	devel/py-test-check
cad/freecad

In order to make port reviews easier, I'd like to submit all 13 ports
separately (one email each). To keep track of them, I'd prefix all email
subjects with something like '[FC x/13] ...' and submit them in the
following order to help make sure that dependencies are committed before
their consumers.

1.  devel/med
2.  math/flann
3.  graphics/pcl
4.  graphics/py-pivy
5.  math/cgns
6.  math/exprtk
7.  math/verdict
8.  devel/cli11
9.  graphics/vtk
10. misc/orocos-kdl
11. devel/py-test-check
12. cad/netgen
13. cad/freecad

Does this make sense? Should this be done any differently?
