Sounds great!

Speaking of "make index", I do a "make 
TEMPLATES=/root/.update-ports/templates/ readmes" at the top level 
(/usr/ports) and the perl program doesn't respect the TEMPLATES dir... the 
top level and the categories use the template, the individual ports do 
not.

I'll write up a proposed patch (my) Friday and throw it in a PR.
