>Description:
	portlint produces errors (perl). Here's an example from www/mozilla:

here >	glob failed (child exited with status 127) at /usr/local/bin/portlint line 260.
here >	glob failed (child exited with status 127) at /usr/local/bin/portlint line 278.
	WARN: Makefile: possible use of absolute pathname "/usr/bin/sort".
	WARN: Makefile: for new port, make $FreeBSD$ tag in comment section empty, to make CVS happy.
	WARN: Makefile: unless this is a master port, PORTNAME has to be set by "=", not by "?=".
	WARN: Makefile: new ports should not set PORTREVISION.
	WARN: Makefile: new ports should not set PORTEPOCH.
	WARN: Makefile: "PKGNAMESUFFIX" has to appear earlier.
	WARN: /usr/ports/www/mozilla/pkg-message: possible use of absolute pathname "/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/...".
	WARN: /usr/ports/www/mozilla/pkg-message: possible direct use of "/usr/local" found. if so, use ${PREFIX} or ${LOCALBASE}, as appropriate.
here >	glob failed (child exited with status 127) at /usr/local/bin/portlint line 323.
	FATAL: files: empty directory should be removed.
	1 fatal errors and 8 warnings found.

	The last error makes portlint complain about empty directories, even if they aren't empty.

>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/ports/www/mozilla && portlint -A
>Fix:
	ehhmm...you tell me.
