>Description:
x11-wm/wmi has moved domains.  The attached patch updates the port to
use the new location.  This release of the software is outdated and not
maintained by the author.  Thus I have set an EXPIRATION_DATE of one
month from now in hopes that it will be removed then.  I'd recommend
people using x11-wm/wmii over this version.

"Note: The wmi-10 source code has not been maintained for over a year,
and is only made available for historical purposes."[1]

I hope I'm using DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE correctly (it passed
portlint but I'm not sure on an official policy regarding removal of
unsupported software).
