Ischka, just a confirmation -- is the page you mentioned following one?
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/emulators/vmware-tools5/../vmware-guestd5/pkg-descr.tools

Maybe that's right, but

No, both emulators/vmware-guestd5 and emulators/vmware-tools5 have its own
long description file.  See the differences of both ports descriptions:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/emulators/vmware-guestd5/pkg-descr
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/emulators/vmware-tools5/../vmware-guestd5/pkg-descr.tools

Maybe this problem(?) comes from the implementation of url.cgi; maybe unwanted
or unintended path normalization was applied :-)
