	I did this by suggestion from asami-san.  I took the style from
	ports/benchmark/tcpblast, which has single C source code in
	ports/benchmark/tcpblast/src.

	I agree that this approach is not always recommended.

	I have no opinion about the location.  My only concern is that portlint
	MUST be kept portable enough to support (Net|Open)BSD bsd.port.mk too.
	There are (Net|Open)BSD guys using portlint.
