>Description:

portlint is slightly anal. Though it works well in many (perhaps most)
cases, there are some fairly common situations it does not recognize
or handle well at all. Most notably, the portlint port itself fails
portlint since, having no distfiles, it lacks a checksum file.

>How-To-Repeat:

des@md5 /usr/ports/devel/portlint% portlint
OK: checking /usr/ports/devel/portlint/pkg/COMMENT.
OK: checking /usr/ports/devel/portlint/pkg/DESCR.
OK: checking Makefile.
OK: checking /usr/ports/devel/portlint/files/md5.
FATAL: no /usr/ports/devel/portlint/files/md5 in ".".
1 fatal errors and 0 warnings found.

>Fix:

Don't look for files/md5 if DISTFILES is empty.
