They were actually removed in two separate revisions, so I suppose we
should probably mark each individually (r293441 for ct, r293439 for
v6eval).

I put a little bit in the Committer's Guide linking to a little
database I maintain [1,2], but people quite rightly pointed out it's a
pain, so I modified addport to do it automatically (addport also fixes
MOVED).

Easiest way to restore a port is now to get the files from somewhere,
fix and use addport on it :)
