Yeah, I played around with different methods of extracting it from
the path then just gave up. I would recommend a CATAGORIES variable,
the results of which can be used to symlink a reference in to the
port in various ways.
E.g. xsysstat might be:
CATAGORIES= x11 utility system
And you'd see it in each.
