So how long until all the X ports get renamed? :-P
And actually, in the latest INDEX, there are 106 such ports:
grep '^[^|]*|/usr/ports/[-a-z0-9]*/[A-Z]' INDEX | awk -F\| '{ print $1, $2 }'
If you wish for a list of them. I can see the name of the port in question
being a bit long, but whining about case seems rediculous.
