Comment (by mbarchfe at googlemail.com):
> `port lint` has the following suggestions about your Portfile:
sorry, should have run that beforehand. Attached is a cleaned file.
> The whitespace notices aren't so important and will probably be removed
from `port lint` anyway, but the others are relevant. Variants should have
descriptions explaining their use, and we don't have a category "gis".
Perhaps the port would fit into one of the existing categories.
Where can I find out about valid categories? According to
http://www.macports.org/ports.php ther is a gis category.

> Further comments from me:
>
> * You don't wish to be the maintainer of this port?
Actually I hoped I could throw this over the fence and get away with it
;-). But if being the maintainer means I can directly submit changes to
the Portfile that would be fine with me.
> * It looks like the variant "wms" doesn't do anything so it should be
removed.
It adds a necessary dependency for wms. I wanted this category just to
make it explicit.
> * In the destroot phase you should use `xinstall` instead of `system
"install"`.
Fixed.
> * With regard to your comment on setting the cgi_path, this project is
called MacPorts. It hasn't been called DarwinPorts in 16 months. :-)
Sorry, I am new to Mac and this does not mean much to me.
> * `extract.suffix .tar.gz` is unnecessary; that's the default.
Removed.
