Please commit this... :-)

I was tired of generating the readme.html files to browse our port src tree 
so I have wrote a little proggie to browse it in perl (via web) on the fly.
You can see it at :
http://www.gufi.org/~gmarco/ports/

Now I think I can simplify a lot it by using this module :-)
What about to add functions like : isinstalled(), versioninstalled(), 
daysmodified() and so on ?

In the mean time I'll download the version 0.02

If you want to give a look at my code (badly written indeed :-) you can 
download at:
http://www.gufi.org/~gmarco/ports.tgz
It has some bugs in parsing macro-names but it works quite fine :-)

Thanks for attention.
