Duplicate port names in MOVED

[Doug Barton]

Howdy,

I'm working on something that needs to parse the MOVED file, and out of 
curiosity I decided to check to see if port names on the far left side were 
ever duplicated. It turns out that there are 5 duplicates:

devel/gnustep-devel
devel/sdcc
lang/php4
sysutils/xwatch
x11-toolkits/gtk-industrial-theme

I've attached the patch that handles the 3 obvious cases (2 pure duplicates 
and one entry that's more recent, broken -> removed). The two I'm confused 
about are lang/php4 and x11-toolkits/gtk-industrial-theme. I think I 
understand what the two entries are trying to say, but I'm not sure if it's 
a good idea to remove one of the duplicates since I'm not sure how other 
applications are handling the info in this file.

This also leads to a question, are duplicate port names considered an error, 
or is this something I should figure out how to parse, perhaps by always 
taking the last entry?

Thanks,

Doug
