 Uh.  I only meant that it could not be referenced directly
 in the web-site documentation, because the <port> tag links
 to a pkg-descr file, which is non-existant in this case.
 
 In general, the sysutils/mkisofs port is a very much viable
 and used way to get mkisofs working.  As a matter of fact,
 the src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh script, used to build
 ISO images of the FreeBSD releases, tries to install exactly
 the sysutils/mkisofs port if no mkisofs binary is found
 on the system.
 
 IMHO, the correct fix in this case should be to fix the doc
 markup scheme, so that the <port> tag allows linking to another
 file instead of pkg-descr.  I'll look into this later today.
 This would let us reference the mkisofs port properly.
 
 G'luck,
 Peter
