OK.  Should I resubmit using the PR that was just issued?

I wasn't sure what to do with that.  The port uses tk84 and does not 
require tk83, but there *is* no category for tk84 (should one be create?), 
so I left that alone.

I wasn't sure that I should do patches, because the new port is radically 
different from the old port.  If I do patches, I'll also have to add text 
explaining the changes.  Not quite sure how to proceed......
