Your survey is a valuable resource for porters, and I didn't mean to
disrupt it. However, from looking at
http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/portsurvey/www.html#linux-netscape6 I
get no clue about what I broke.  Could you please explain in detail?
Otherwise, it's likely that I (or someone else) will cause a similar
problem in the future.

Whatever the trouble was, I have a feeling that your change might not
eliminate it.  You added a test for the existence of components.conf,
which you do after the (interactive) configure script runs.  The configure
script generates components.conf, so if components.conf does not exist
after the script is complete, it normally should mean that the user
cancelled out of the dialog.

It may be a few days before I have time to work on this. If the port is
still causing massive disruption, perhaps you could just remove it from
your survey's copy of the ports collection.  I also don't mind adding
BROKEN and/or FORBIDDEN lines to it.  Have you published the scripts for
your survey?  If I could get my hands on them, maybe I could (would) try a
limited test run on my own computer, to avoid causing another disaster.

Please let me know.
