Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Leave my ports collection alone. Xified ports... Baaah! I have the
technology to develop nuclear weapons and I am not afraid to use it in
defense of the ports collection. This is as zealous as I get. '$ make;make

A Tcl/Tk front end to ports might be ok if you absolutely must click a
button, but only if I never see it. :)
