I know....I just wanted people to be explicit about their intentions,
so that I don't have to go chase every port without a Makefile just to
have the committer say "but you said I can leave it empty if I don't
want to take care of it".... ;)

 * Or that we make KEYWORDS be KEYWORDS+= ${CATEGORIES} instead of

This is a very good point.  Which way should we go?  I prefer letting
the user add it explicitly, but you are the one who came up with these 
two variables....Jordan?
