Thanks, but I havent done any 'make readmes' explicitly.
I only did 'make build/package/install' or install ports by
portupgrade. 
Is there a possibility that some of these commands
has done 'make readmes' implicitly? In this case it would be
good to know in which configuration file I can change this 
behaviour.

Is there a standard way to get rid of README.html of deleted
ports ?
