I removed the japanese, korean, etc ports, noted to avoid them in the
cvs config. Since I didn't want 'make readmes' to break, I kept the
directories and (first level) Makefiles, but removed all the SUBDIR
lines.

A problem that arises is that there are some ports that don't reside
in the nationalized directories, but have dependencies in them (Some
of the affected ports are converters/uudx, misc/man.el,
print/p5-FreeType, print/p5-FreeTypeWrapper and sysutils/mei). Is this
to be expected, or should i submit a PR for each non-localized port
that depends on a localized port?
