Description
Several ports whose "true" name have ++ in their names (libsigc++, libxml++, mysql++, and others) have the plus signs replaced with the letter x (libsigcxx2, libxmlxx, mysqlxx). This is the convention we've picked (and is also used in other project names directly like libpqxx), but we have no current documentation for it in the guide. This should be added someplace.
