I think it might be helpful to keep patches like this in the repository. 
They can be a very good reference when porting other software. Most of
the information should be in the PortLog however. Old PortLog entries
should not be deleted either.
Why have you just removed my log from libiconv then? It did build fine with --build=i586-pc-beos and I don't see a dependency on libnetwork. If something broke, please say so in the Wiki, the patch is pretty large [Ingo, if you're reading this, please have a look at config.sub, doesn't look correct to me?]. Especially, why have you dropped the heading? Brecht's guidelines demanded that. Please add your username instead when you pick up a port and change work-in-progress to whatever you see fit. Strikethrough text can be achieved by adding ~~ before and after the text. Or you could leave my section intact and add a new one for your log.
I think it makes a difference whether I edit/remove my text or whether I remove part of someone else's log. When I had a comment on your port, I added it inline, marked by --username, rather than editing your text.
