Ok, yes you can add me there, like you wrote earlier.

I sitting with your Portfile edition (mod_*) now and adding the rest. A 'notes',
etc. But, it doesn't install go in to destroot. Only if I use destroot {}. I'll
make a post in the ticket about it.

I thought maybe the other Makefile(.am) should get the same edits, but it didn't
work.

Ok. Perfect!

I started once making a version of the github-1.0.tcl. I think I came half way,
and then there was the downloads links/API that differed a bit. I can put it up
somewhere if someone wants to help me out on it.
