>Description:
The make_index script fails if PORTSDIR is a path which contains a
symlink, so realpath ${PORTSDIR} != ${PORTSDIR}.  The output from
'make describe' contains some fields which use ${PORTSDIR}, and the perl
script fails to match anything since it uses the realpath (`pwd`).
>How-To-Repeat:
ln -sf /usr/ports /usr/ports2
setenv PORTSDIR /usr/ports2
cd /usr/ports
make index

>Fix:
Fix make_index and/or the describe target to call the perl equivalent of
the realpath function, whatever that is, on the relevant paths.
