 This seems sensible.  It relied on code in www/en/cgi/ports.cgi removed
 in revision 1.84, in November 2005.  In turn, that code was removed
 because INDEX files are no longer regularly rebuilt in CVS, which is
 unlikely to change.
 
 Although it's probably fixable by modifying the way ports.cgi works, as
 nobody seems to have noticed that this script hasn't worked for 18
 months, there doesn't seem much point.
