My suggestion is that we mark this port IGNORE for now to keep it
out of our error reports, to allow us to concentrate on fixing as
many of the other problematic ports as possible.

About a month ago I went through all the IGNOREd ports and there is
some further work to be done on some of them but IMHO at a lower
priority than BROKEN/DEPRECATED issues.  Moving (almost) all of the
non-plist-compliant ports into the BROKEN/DEPRECATED space is a big
change; I doubt we can catch every edge condition as we do so.
