So I think we can collapse both into one, as both can get called
regardless of port of package.
But I don't see much more potential in the actual ports infrastructure
to safe inodes while maintaining the actual ease of use for a port
developer. For simple ports which just need a barebones Makefile, a
plist, a distinfo an a descr, a collapsed format may be easy to handle,
but we have a lot of ports which are not that simple. Creating lang/icc
in such a scheme would have been much more time consuming for me.
Bye,
Alexander.
