Writing good COMMENTs is surely a thing to do, but that variable is not 
meant to hold many keywords. For ports where we can include all the 
relevant tags into the 59-chars COMMENTs, no additional work is needed. 
If the keywords are many and don't fit all in the COMMENT field the port 
maintainer could insert them into the TAGS variable.
