.... because a update the tread... That sais we my add the LICENSE
variable in the time being. That said my inspiration for receipt was
FreeBSD port Makefile and they dont have a license variable.

I also had this idea a few time ago, so yes we can already put it in
receipt.

Yes exactly and packages web interface will also use the TAGS (I'm
palanning to radically improve the search engine).

Yes this is also a nice idea.
