Patch didn't like the diff: patching file bsd.port.subdir.mk patch: **** malformed patch at line 4: .for __target in ${TARGETS} ...but I applied it by hand and confirm that I can rebuild the INDEX successfully via "portsdb -uU". Also thank you, Kris and Edwin, for the explanations that you've offered.

At one point-- about a dozen years ago-- this utility was named "niftyclean". If the powers-that-be wish to avoid a port named "clean" rather than spend the time testing Oliver's patch, please update the PR or otherwise let me know, and I'll re-do the port under a different name. -- -Chuck
