+Tripwire is a tool that aids system administrators and
+users in monitoring a designated set of files for any changes.
+Used with system files on a regular (e.g., daily) basis, Tripwire
+can notify system administrators of corrupted or tampered files,
+so damage control measures can be taken in a timely manner.
+
+If "TRIPWIRE_FLOPPY" is set to "YES" in the environment or on the
+"make" command line, this port will write the tripwire database to
+a floppy disk, which should then be write-protected and used as a
+reference for future runs. The diskette should be formatted and
+present in the "A" drive before starting the "make install" step.
