When run in update mode (-u option), jail-update sometimes hangs if the port being updated asks for an interactive decision and does so on stdout.

Proposed fix:
do not suppress portmaster output

Alternate fix:
Check in advance whether ports could ask for someting. Pass this question to the user before running the update and provide the answer via expect to the make process

I will take it.

This bug is classified as critical and will block the upcoming 0.2 release. Different approaches currently under investigation.
