Perhaps I don't understand. Are you suggesting that it be added to the
"contrib" tree?

If you need to change as much as one line in the makefile, I will argue
that it should be placed into "ports" or somewhere higher in the hiearchy.

In fact, I can see a value in having "out-of-the-box" programs listed in a
special "ports" section just to propogate the knowledge that they work(ed).
