I'm also voting for this change, however IMO Makefile a best place
for a COMMENT (Makefile's from our ports collection are already overloaded
with variables). I would propose to put it into pkg-descr, just like WWW
line. Another possible benefit for having it in pkg-descr is that you can
use COMMENT as a intro to the more verbose description in pkg-descr, by
defining that the first line of pkg-descr is to be used as a COMMENT if
no COMMENT: field is present in pkg-descr.
