I wonder if portlint could grow some kind of "ignore these specific
warnings and errors" capability, similar to lintian's override list
in Debian.  I'll have to think about it a bit - maybe the warnings and
errors could have a tag, not just a free-text description.  I'll think
about it a bit longer and then possibly come up with a proposal of
some kind, or maybe even prototype code :)

G'luck,
