I would happily accept patches (if they work and don't break things! :-) =
). It's so long ago that I looked at the build code (packaudit) so I =
can't recall how ugly that is.  I just remember portaudit's embedded awk =
in sh makes me want to run away :-).

Portaudit and packaudit haven't really been touched in any significant =
way since eik@ left the project.
