I am ambivalent about moving patches into files. Since I disagree. Can you give an example of a port with so man patches that things get too cluttered -- to the point of a simple ``ls'' not fitting on one screen? I don't see what having them in a different directory buys -- even with the `pm3-base' port an ls fits in a single standard 80x24 console; and the `pm3-base' port is a very extreme anomaly for us.
