Folks,

If the portlint would be told to ignore errors like missing PORTVERSION,
then how do you know whether the port is correct or not?

>From my point of view, the issue is the portlint pretends to parse
makefiles, but does not implement full make :-). For example, as far as I
understand, the line 2188 just verifies that the file has a line starting
with PORTVERSION. Portlint should use "make -V PORTVERSION" instead.
