Sure, but people that are trying to use it somewhere other than
/usr/ports shouldn't be surprised by misbehavior.  I've worked with
several people (who aren't steeped in the usage of ports) who were
astonished by this behavior.

My original implementation used a shell for loop (see the CR), but
given the lack of a legitimate use case for looking farther up than
three parent directories, it seemed easier not to.  I suppose one
could use a static list of paths in the for loop though.
