New description:

 I have attached a script I just wrote to generate a new old-style file_map
 file from the receipts (which
 DarwinPorts can then convert into a file_map.db file). It assumes port
 images are used and assumes
 current receipt format. Assuming these requirements are met, it can really
 be a lifesaver. I have 212
 ports installed and I corrupted my file_map.db file (see bug #2724) and I
 *really* didn't want to reinstall
 all these ports. I wrote this script and ran it and then had DarwinPorts
 convert it to the file_map.db file
 and everything is fine and dandy now. Because of this script, I simply
 lost 2 hours of my life instead of
 2 days. And next time this happens (hopefully never), it will only take 2
 minutes of my life.
