It is designed as a complementary tool to portlint, therefore the advertisement.
Portlint checks the style of the port before installing, portconflicts the
packing list afterwards. First I though of making something like Bill Fenners
portsurvey(TM), but I think it might be useful for new ports too. I can still
send out email reminders, if this is A Good Thing. Where doe you think it would
have its place in the Tools directory? To be honest, I use none of the nifty
little snippets there.
