Unfortunately, the pkg2ng utility has no way of knowing which old-style packages it converts were installed automatically as dependencies, so they are all marked as non-automatic (i.e. user-requested).

(Plus I wanted an excuse to play with dialog(1) and "pkg query" a bit.) So here's the result. I'm not too attached to the name. It shouldn't eat your package database or steal your lunch money, but I'm not responsible if it does.
