 * From: Neil Blakey-Milner <nbm@mithrandr.moria.org>

 * While I'm not adamant about it, I like the idea of combining files and
 * scripts.  patches all begin with patch-*, scripts can be things like
 * 'configure', 'build', or PKGINSTALL, which don't conflict, usually, and
 * shouldn't be a hassle.

I mentioned why I don't want to do that in the original mail.  (I
know, it was a little long.)

There are only 204 ports with scripts.  I think we should leave those
alone.  I don't want to move them to files, as having "scripts" show
up in the directory listing of the main port triggers a little alarm
at the back of my head.  (These scripts are often sources of
trouble. :)
