I withdrew agm after finding several much faster and more efficient
programs that do essentially the same thing. That being the case, I would
agree with your suggestion that it be removed from the ports tree.
One of the programs (called The Amazing Anagram Thingie) did
in seconds what agm took hours or days to do. I'd recommend you track it
down and add it to the ports tree in the place of agm.
Incidentally, I believe TAAT was based on an Obfuscated C Code Contest
entry, which is thus doubly humiliating for me :-)

Fraser
