OK, but should my patch file be here, or do I need to make a /files 
subdirectory and put it there?

Then change back to main port directory & run make install (clean) for 
the whole port, right?

I have just now re-installed a fresh FreeBSD installation. I'm going to 
wait until I figure out this /files subdirectory. I'm not comfortable 
with having to create it. Just to look at another port I intend to 
install later, located at /usr/ports/security/gnupg, it already has a 
files directory.

Thanks
