Uh, well, a _port_ for this baby sure wouldn't hurt!  It doesn't matter if
it's shareware since we don't have to actually provide it in binary form,
we can do JUST a port without an associated package.

This would help many people discover the magic of tgdb that wouldn't otherwise
do so (like ME, for example - I haven't the time to track down the bits and
generally won't bother with something if it's not a port).
