Oh my goodness! Satoshi is finally fed up and decided to "clean up"

all the COMMENTs!  No package names, no version numbers, no "this is
absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents.

Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import
a port with those kind of comments. :)

Phew!  238 ports modified!

265 files changed, 265 insertions, 265 deletions
