Well, on second thought, maybe the ulink could even be replaced with a <port> tag. Following the link generated by the <port> tag leads to the pkg-descr file, and the web-rendered version generates links for the WWW lines in pkg-descr, so users will eventually see the MTA's website too. Then again, maybe both should be there; and then again, maybe the <port> isn't needed at all :) Other opinions? G'luck, Peter -- This sentence every third, but it still comprehensible.
