Component:  ports    |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:           |       Port:
---------------------+--------------------------------
 This was inspired by revisiting ticket #37832 after seeing cal's commit
 r102355 in irc. The following categories only have a single port in them:

 mercurial: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=mercurial
 (currently only contains hg-forest, could also possibly contain mercurial,
 py*hgsvn, py*mercurial_keyring, py*hggit, py27-hgsubversion, and
 tortoisehg)

 win32: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=win32
 (currently only contains nsis, could also possibly contain ASFRecorder,
 i386-mingw32*, icoconvert, mystonline-wine, octave-windows, ophcrack, p5
 *parse-win32registry, pev, png2ico, rdesktop*, wine*, and wxmsw)

 wsn: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=wsn (currently
 only contains nesc, not sure what else it could contain)

 squeak: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=squeak
 (currently only contains squeak, pretty sure that's the only thing it
 could contain)

 lua: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=lua (currently
 only used for luash, could also be used for lpeg, lua*, ocaml-lua,
 prosody, swig-lua, texlive-luatex, toluapp, and wxLua)

 ipv6: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=ipv6 (currently
 only used for aiccu, could also be used for a lot of other things)

 html: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=html (currently
 only used for xml2, could be used for so many other things that it might
 not be worth it)

 emacs: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=emacs
 (currently only used for po-mode.el, could also be used for auctex, cedet,
 *.el, ecb, emacs*, erc, ess, jove, lookup, magit, mg, nxml-mode, org-
 mode*, ProofGeneral, psgml, py*pymacs, slime, tex-whizzytex, vile, xemacs,
 and zile)

 Also the [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=database
 "database"] and
 [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=databases
 "databases"] categories should probably be combined with one another. Same
 thing with the [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=ml
 "ml"] and [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=ocaml
 "ocaml"] categories.
