------------------------+--------------------
The `port lint` warning about patchfile names should be relaxed. We should
no longer recommend/require patchfiles to be named "patch-*.diff".
Instead, we should allow any "*.diff" or "*.patch" patchfile name. The
lint warning was originally added to discourage users from adding
patchfiles that had neither the .diff nor the .patch extension, since that
resulted in incorrect syntax coloring in text editors that determine the
filetype from the extension.
