>Description:

If one runs an awk script on ports/INDEX,
  (eg awk -F\| '{print $2,$4}' INDEX | sed -e "s,/usr/ports/,," )
to show a boss, or customer etc that FreeBSD has lots of utilities that
could help him, this entry:

        net/xgopher A brown, furry creature for burroring through Gopherspace.

is non standard & not informative, for 2 reasons:
	the tool name `gopher' is not explicit
	the user may not know what gopher is or where to get it.

>How-To-Repeat:
	As above

>Fix:
	patch enclosed
