That was my first thought but then I thought I first present the idea.
A lot more is possible such as adding other search engines. Develop
some optional "quality feedback" mechanism for maintainers having ports
that required a distfile to be looked up.

Also, the script pulls in a lot of p5- dependencies. Makeing the actual
script a port and have ports/Mk/* provide the necessary hooks could be
a solution.
