Speaking of "make index", I do a "make

not.
By the way, what do you think of the idea, instead of polluting the
ports tree with README.html everywhere, to have a simple script which
dynamically computes the page you want to look? All the information is
in the INDEX file, hence can be extracted instantaneously. It's only a
question of having pretty templates to show something nice, and a simple
http server. For example i know this is trivial to do with python
BaseHTTPServer, but it should be as trivial with perl or other similar
tool.
I *like* that idea... should such a script be in the ports tree as a port?
I'll write it (in perl, it's what I happen to know and write in) if it's
wanted. (I actually hook my ports tree into Apache at the moment for that
http server, but I have Apache up for other purposes, anyway - see the
site in my signature.)
(Not that we shouldn't fix what's there. As long as we're providing it, we
should fix the bugs. I'm testing my patches now. They're a +1 -1 patch to
Mk/bsd.port.subdir.mk and a +2 -1 patch to Tools/make_readmes, by the way)
