addressed to my satisfaction in a manfile sort of way, or whether it is
just best handled in documentation anyway. I could add the new
commands
in the same way the new "delete" command was added, and that is all I
have
time to do right now, but it seems like we're just announcing new
commands
rather than explaining them. If that is good enough then I could do it
within a week, but frankly I've lost track of the Kevin's description
of
the changes and I don't see it in the ChangeLog yet.
Also, I've taken this as a pending item and I can have it done at the
same
time as well.

All in all, I think something is better than nothing. So if a
comprehensible guide & complex examples are going to hold us back, I
guess at least an introductory description of the new portfile writing
commands is good enough to ship with 1.4's documentation updates. Have
a look at my recent commit to the ChangeLog, it should help you spot
what you need to advance on portfile.7. Open a new ticket to track
these new additions by uploading patches, or let me know if you don't
think you'll be able to work on the page in a timely manner, so that I
coordinate it otherwise.
Thanks!
