File suffixes suck...
File suffixes are useful because they enable you to associate files
with applications by file extension. When I doubleclick a file called
"README" on my Mac it opens into TextEdit. I hate TextEdit and do not
wish to use it, but because the filename has no extension, I cannot
inform the OS that I would like it to open into TextWrangler instead.
Same with files named Portfile or Makefile or whatever else.
I'm sure it could be set up to accept "foo.port" in addition to
"Portfile".
(so that you could associate the .port extension with your favorite
editor)
But maybe it should rather be a bundle, with all the other files needed
too ?
Then again, there's already the ".portpkg" for a port with all needed
files...
