+Portlint tries to verify the content of a package directory.
+The purpose of portlint can be separated into two parts:
+ (1) to let the submitters easily polish her/his own package
+ directory, and
+ (2) to decrease the labor of the committers.
+
+Portlint uses very simple regular-expression matching for verifying
+files that make up a package directory. Note that it does NOT implement
+complete parser for those files. Because of this the user may see some
+extra warnings, especially when checking complex Makefiles.
