I agree that this should be tested ... but there is a lot of code there
that I didn't have time to puzzle through for my current -exp run.

If the stanzas in the ports go away, then my hack goes away as well :-)
Consider it temporary in the meantime.

fwiw, right now it only affects pointyhat-west, which is currently
only being used for -exp runs.  However, sometime soon I want to
start using it for regular builds.  There are still a few bugs to
work out.
