Hello.

I'm a bit confused as to the function of the README.html files located in
otherwise empty ports directories from a cvsup from only a few minutes ago
(Fri Jul  2 04:45:00 MDT 2004). Of particular interest to me are the gtk
engine and theme ports such as x11-toolkits/gtk-engines-collection or
x11-toolkits/gtk-zenith-theme. At this point I haven't found a gtk theme
or engine port that has anything but a README.html in it.

Would someone please clarify the function of these nearly empty port
directories for me, and detail what steps I can take to install a port
such as x11-toolkits/gtk-zenith-theme which exhibits this format?
