 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:

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

 [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=win32 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

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

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

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

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

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

 [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=emacs 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.

 (Note: All "*"s in the above are wildcards)
