I'm trying to match vuln.xml information against actual ports. To do this, I need to know how the entries in the <name> field are derived.

I first thought it might be PORTNAME. But that's not the case. I now think it might be ${PKGNAMEPREFIX}${PORTNAME}$.

If am i correct, then I have some questions about the following entries.

What ports do the following refer to?

iaskmpd ImageMagick-nox11 ja-netscape7 libtool mod_php4-twig mpg123-esound mplayer-esound mplayer-gtk mplayer-gtk-esound mysql-client mysql-scripts mysql-server

The answers may be obvious to the trained eye, but how does one write code against this?
