I also understood not to touch them, but looking at some of my ports such as lang/gcc43 which is the repocopy of a repocopy of a repocopy of a repocopy of a repocopy of a repocopy of a repocopy of a repocopy of a repocopy of a repocopy with basically just empty lines and that header left from the original port I doubt keeping the header intact is useful, appropriate, or actually fair to later maintainers. For example, in this case David O'Brien has contributed more to the port and over a longer period of time than the original committer, yet his name does not appear anywhere in the Makefile. Are there any objections if I remove the second to fourth lines of the port's Makefile in such a case as part of the next update? Gerald
