Aegis.... aegis.sf.net and devel/aegis... to get it to compile you
will need to apply a patch I will send you if you want (and/or use the
yet to be committed devel/aegis-devel which does the patch at the cost
of failing portlint [installs correctly and all that but has some
minor issues that prevent committing as of yet]).... currently I am
working with the aegis developers so none of the hacks (plus a few
other things) are not needed (i.e. no special cases needed for
freebsd)... to others reading this is going to be the primary
cms/vms/vcs for ports 2.0
