>Description:

The count of ports in the Handbook is wrong.  I'm attaching two
patches for consideration: one contains an accurate count, one makes
the problem go away for good.  I prefer the second, but it's an
admission that keeping track of the number of ports in the Handbook is
basically futile so people might not like that.

>How-To-Repeat:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/ , look at the INDEX entry.
