It's scheduled at my afternoon TODO list, and you all(keith and kevlo,
keichii -- why so many Ks? :P) make it faster, thanks!

Hmm... if outta-port is out of sync with your PR, or anyone's hot
codes at his own computer. I'll suggest that : We shouldn't maintain
two different ports tree(ports/chinese && outta-port in sinica) at the
same time.
Especially when someone wanna commit something, but he doesn't use the
source file from the PR's originator.
Actually I don't do "blink" commit at the normal time, but for some
reason I don't wanna test these ports(cle_base & netscape-*) in my
-current box. So I ask keichii to help me few hourse ago, to make sure
these ports are fine in installation procedure.
And no, I didn't "ignore" these PRs keith sent, it is unfair when you
said it.

That's why I called it "cle_base" rather then "linux_base", for the
later case : You should make a slave port or ask repo-copy first, and
send out your patch focus on Chinese. NOT make a new port everytime.
I mark the name different to do so, now, can you understand what I want
to do? :)
