To use this port, a newbie must be introduced to the port system. He
may accidently get a fortune tip to read 'man ports', but it's very
unlikely ;-) Second, the whole bunch of RUN_DEPENDS takes a lot of
time to build and it is not convenient for the majority. I suppose
that many FreeBSD newbies would prefer (and should be introduced to)
the usage of precompiled software packages.
