Basically, ports marked BROKEN will attempted to be built by bento where
as ports marked IGNORE will not be.  If it's a transient build issue,
mark it as BROKEN so that the errors will still show up on bento, and
given people something to look at when fixing.  However, if the port
will _never_ build in a given environment, or builds but fails to run,
then mark IGNORE.
