Charlie,

The Ports Tree is a collective work, an iterative, ongoing development.
Various people bring their bits here and there, some of those people lay
the first stone, and had the right to mark it as such.  Even if someone
decides to replace their work later on, the stone stays still.  But then
again: we don't just throw away prior work and replace it with our own;
this is rude, disrespectful to previous contributors, and could easily
turn people from making new ports.

I'm not sure if I should be apologizing for committing the port before
you, but that what had happened.  Now I'd like to keep my attribution
intact, as I do towards everyone else.
