It attempts to find pieces of a Makefile if it isn't in the Synopsis,
which seems to be _reasonably_ accurate as a guess, but then falls
back to even wilder guessing schemes.  The fastest way, of course,
is to indeed put category/portname in the Synopsis, which has the
added advantage of enabling GNATS search just by using Synopsis
(not having to go full-text search).
