package description

it would be very very handy if each port woul have a short description as seen in the beloved ;P fbsd ports system ( http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ )

furthermore the list on http://www.gentoo.org/index-packages.html is good for searching if a certain app is in the ports system but not to search software.

i.e. there is a "mc". thats nice but how should i know its the midnight commander i'm looking for? since it has a version # of 4.5 the chances are good but its categorisized as gnome-extra, hmmm....

i don't think its a big effort tgo add each port a file which contains the name, version and a short description of the application?
