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?
