Any reason to name the port go-chroma instead of just chroma?

I think both DESCR could be a bit specific than just to have the last
line change. Is the -web subpackage really useful?

The WANTLIB line shouldn't have a tab since it comes from the output of
the tool that doesn't include a tab.

Anyway is there an issue with tgz? It doesn't seem to build here:
