This is, of course, nothing like what was suggested.
The problem with automatic checking of ports is that addport depends on
the port infrastructure on the system it's being run on being up-to-date.
Since this isn't the case on freefall, automatic port checking doesn't
work. A better fix would either be to update the infrastructure on
freefall (poor) or have addport keep a private, up-to-date copy of the
infrastructure somewhere else (better).

... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his
rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want
to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
