 * From: Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com>

 * And upon deinstall, we would delete the symlinks if they exist, and not
 * return an error if they don't, right?
 * 
 * We also need to have a method for restoring symlinks, thereby allowing an
 * easier "upgrade" path.

Yes and yes.  That's really the whole point.

 * I like this idea!

Glad someone finally agrees! :)  (Hey billf, where are you -- we
discussed this last November, remember?)

Anyway, we don't need to get into a long discussion over pies in the
sky, but does anyone have an objection to the main proposal (PKGNAME
-> PORTNAME/VERSION)?

If not, I'll coordinate with mharo (portlint maintainer, who also
seems to have taken upon the task of touching as many Makefiles as
humanely possible) to convert the tree and update associate
documentation/upgrade kits/whatnot.

If anyone else also wants to help, that will be great. :)
