Default portmaster hints

Does anyone have any hints for using portmaster.
Is it actually any good for anything?

Every time I use it, like tonight, I spend 8 hours trying to get my system to
work again.
I have currently resorted to using the twm window manager trying to fix all the things
portmaster breaks. At least it didn't break X windows.

Nearly everything I touch after using portmaster requests an earlier library/port.
So now I'm writing /etc/libmap.conf files.


It's a real pain.
