Synopsis: Port files with double-colons cannot exist on FAT partitions.

State-Changed-Why:
This is very unlikely to be fixed.
Although portmgr indeed has requested that people stop committing new
patchfiles with the "::" separators, there remain hundreds of existing
ones. IMHO it would be very disruptive to the ports tree -- and thus,
most users -- to do a mass rename just to handle this particular FAT
edge case.
I'll mark this PR suspended as a caution to committers considering adding
new patchfiles with that separator.
