On a related note, the make.conf comparison is close to useless - at least =
it=20
is very annoying, perhaps confusing for some. The example make.conf that is=
=20
used for the comparison has only very few entries and as soon as something =
as=20
basic as the perl port is installed (and the entries added by 'use.perl por=
t'=20
are present in make.conf), the comparison will pop up a diff.
=2D-=20
