	If I'm reading you correctly, you're proposing a Portfile only be  
accepted as clean if it specifically states it doesn't violate the  
mtree? If so, such functionality would require us going through every  
single one of our Portfiles and adapting them accordingly... which is  
needless to say a daunting task.

	To increase mtree violations visibility, at least for the time  
being, I propose promoting them to verbose output.
