>Description:
The list of categories is out-of-date. In particular, the following are
missing: lisp, pear, tk84, and xfce.
While I was here, I threw out categories that have become stale, as
well as a few that probably have not been used since the epoch. (It
turns out that empty categories are preened, so they are harmless, but
there is no reason to leave them in.) There is also some other minor
rewording where it seemed necessary.
IMHO this patch should be considered a candidate for 6.0-RELEASE.
>How-To-Repeat:
Diff versus the Porter's Handbook, at least, the version I just committed
that added the ones missing from it, too (sigh).
>Fix:
The following was tested on 5.3-RELEASE because that's what I had
available. I have little doubt it will also work on -CURRENT.
