Done. I'll have to copy those internationalized files to /etc/p3scan/ in
my project's install.site script (I need them there for the web
interface), but that's ok. (In my experience, @sample'ing a symlink
copies the linked file, not the symlink file, i.e. the link is followed,
which was not my intention as was obvious on the @exec line. I confirmed
by trying again. In any case, we don't need that symlink anymore.)

Please find the new ports package with those changes. This one has many
other improvements to the patch files too.

I appreciate your input and encouragement, and agree with you.
