Yeah, the "category root must be listed first" that port-tools gave me
on port submit was quite annoying - I was used to copy the port to
root's home directory (NAT'd single-user machine, don't worry) and I got
quite used to "portlint -abcvt | grep -v ^OK:" followed by port submit -L.
(-L for no portlint).

Oh, and checking out ports/CAT/PORT with CVS is not outright fun on my
decrepit Micropolis 4345WS 7,200/min UWSCSI drive, been there, tried
that, and couldn't drink as much coffee as I had time to wait (-:

Thanks for the portlint fix everybody.
