I've worked it out now.  The only place the canonical path is needed is
when searching the index.  Anywhere else, the real path is fine to use.

Turned out to be a very simple fix.

I uploaded mkreadmes-1.1.tar.bz2 to Sourceforge yesterday.  Still
awaiting the port update's commit.  Anyone using this thing really
should get the latest version, even if your ports tree is not in a
non-standard location, as I also added some checking of the index file
to catch any errors in the format of the lines.  Two rather important
fixes.
