I just reposted hal.diff with an update to 0.5.10.20080104.  This update
fixes the port distinfo, and some other bugs.

Note: a great way to test things is to compare the lshal output from
0.5.8 with that of 0.5.10:

0.5.8:

lshal > lshal.old
lshal | sort > lshal.olds

0.5.10:

lshal > lshal.new
lshal | sort > lshal.news

diff -u lshal.olds lshal.news

That diff will give you a rough idea of differences but without context.
A diff of the unsorted files will give context, but the order of
properties is not guaranteed, so it will require some thought to make
sure nothing important is missing.
