I haven't been watching too well until very lately, about ports
development.  Did you notice the relatively extravagant use I had to make
of paired patch-it-then-sed-it sequences I had to make in thot?  First
patch in something like %%MOTIFLIB%%, then sed it out with the real value
of $(MOTIFLIB).  Is there any facility yet in ports to automate something
like that?  The dual patch-it-then-sed-it?

It could be done automatically by, before patching, moving all the
prospective patches to work/patches via sed, where sed could recognize the
%%something%% type thing and do the change in the patch.  Or maybe some
other method.  Is it worth the complication?
