I would prefer pkg_COMMENT or pkg.COMMENT to make things easier to read.

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.

And going this path would save 1961 directories and 5883. More of course
