Question about fields in INDEX files

The output from each port's "make describe" is documented at the
"describe" target in:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
This is changed to a different format (a historical bug, too late to fix
now because of POLA) via "make index" from ports/Makefile by the following
script (see the "foreach" block at the end):
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/Tools/make_index
I will send you portsmon's portsIndexUtils.py file that you can work from
to figure out this mess. (I don't see any reason to post it to the list).
