	I've added some rules to exclude URLs from the absolute

	I'll try it,

	like /*NOTREACHED*/ or /*ARGSUSED*/ in real lint?
	mmm, that depends on how you interpret the warning from portlint.

	If you know what you are doing, I believe you can ignore what
	portlint warns you in the above case.
	portlint can never be a perfect parser for makefile/shell script/
	whatever... (of course I'm trying to, but I have to make a 
	compromise at some level)

	anyway thanks for the comments, I'll try to update soon.
