Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 PortIndex2MySQL.tcl now begins with the line:

 {{{
 #!@TCLSH@
 }}}

 This means I cannot run it without first manually modifying it (or,
 presumably, running `make` in that directory, though that fails for me
 with `Makefile:9: ../../Mk/macports.autoconf.mk: No such file or
 directory`).

 I would prefer to be able to run the script without having to modify it.
 (Well, I know I might still have to modify it for the location to the
 password file and to set `SPAM_LOVERS`.) But can't the first line be:

 {{{
 #!/usr/bin/env port-tclsh
 }}}

 as you proposed above? Making that change, the script runs for me.

 Also, I see that /opt/local/bin/port-tclsh is a shell script containing:

 {{{
 #!/bin/sh
 exec /opt/local/libexec/macports/bin/tclsh8.5 "$@"
 }}}

 Is there a reason why that's preferable to just being a symlink to that?
