I concur.  While it's very tempting to fix FreeBSD port (especially when
it's maintained by you (not you == Daniel, but in general sense)) we should
always first contact upstream maintainers/vendor and submit a fix and (at
best) ask for review.  In case upstream maintainers are not very responsive,
but fix is critical or trivial enough, it's OK to fix such port directly,
but upstream bug tracker should be filled with detailed bug description and
attached patch.
