That's what I *likely* would've done (if I didn't have commit bit): fix the
port in the fastest way possible *for myself*, and move on.  Removing one
single line from the Makefile is much easier than fixing the port for real
and filing a PR (or forking it at GitHub and sending a pull request, LOL).

While that's true, it takes some effort to actually find the removed port
and properly resurrect it.  But then again: it's becoming ridiculous, I'm
obviously losing this argument here so why don't we just all move along...

Peace,
