+If you want to traverse the working directory for all valid port dirs

+script instead. Putting that functionality inside \fBpkgmeek\fP itself
+requires either hard-coding a specific set of flags passed to the
+\fBfind(1)\fP command (such as whether to follow symlinks), or asking

+fit poorly in some use cases, so recursive invocations are now the
