Hello,
   I thought this would probably be the most appropriate location for
this message.  It seems that the latest round of pkg-comment ->
PORTCOMMENT changes has affected any port with a comment that has ()'s
in them.  For instance, ImageMagick has:

PORTCOMMENT=    Image processing tools (interactive
optional--misc/display conflict)

which results in the following error message after running ldconfig:

	Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")

Changing the comment to:

PORTCOMMENT=    Image processing tools \(interactive
optional--misc/display conflict\)

fixed it and allowed the port to install correctly.
