Right, the 'ident' thing. Doesn't seem to matter. That
particular error used to happen a lot, but starting a couple of
months ago the ports tree got severely cleaned up. For a while
I got none of these, now one is back. It doesn't matter, though.
I fixed up the "fvwm2" Makefile and now "portsdb" runs to
completion. The "ident" errors are non-fatal warnings.
Hopefully someone will commit this fix to the tree.
