Re: New: mail/xbuffy

[Andreas Kahari <ak+openbsd_(_at_)_freeshell_(_dot_)_org>]

Just as for the mail/signify port, the silly P variable in the
Makefile was just removed.  The port is still at the same URL.

I've also shortened the DESCR file a tiny bit (people should
read the man page, really).  It now just reads "This is xbuffy,
an xbiff-like X program designed to watch multiple mail folders
for new mail."  There's not very much else to say anyway.
