This was prompted by noticing that '/var/db/portsnap' still exists on newly-installed machines. With this change, all mentions of portsnap(8) in the tree are gone, except for the historical note in the AUTHORS section of manpage phttpget(8). locate(1) will thus start indexing again '/var/db/portsnap' on machines where this directory still exists, which may be a good way to push administrators to delete it.
