==========================================================

By default, zsh looks for system-wide defaults in
/usr/local/etc.

If you previously set up /etc/zprofile, /etc/zshenv, etc.,
either move them to /usr/local/etc or rebuild zsh with the
ETCDIR option enabled.

Oh my goodness!  Satoshi is finally fed up and decided to "clean up" all the COMMENTs!  No package names, no version numbers, no "this is absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents.

Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import
a port with those kind of comments. :)

Phew!  238 ports modified!

2.6.4beta != 2.6.4, so changed PKGNAME to use 2.6b4 instead.  (A little ugly, but much better than 2.6.4beta.)

Add CATEGORIES lines to a whole bunch of port Makefiles.  Some ports are in multiple catagories - I'll expect the various MAINTAINERS to make further adjustments (and add any KEYWORDS lines) themselves.
