 Heads-up:
 
 Support for StorCli is going to be a bit complicated.
 
 First, there are two separate but overlapping StorCli branches; "MR" for 
 standard MegaRAID and "NMR" for Nytro MegaRAID products.
 
 Also, the latest versions seem to have dropped support for some 
 chipsets, even though the supported hardware lists only show new ones 
 added.  Maybe these are just bugs that should be reported to LSI.
 
 For our Dell PERC H700, the MR v1.02.08 works best and NMR 1.01.75 works 
 partially.  Later versions don't work at all.
 
 Following the examples from PRs 179321 and 184922, I made separate ports 
 for all currently available versions of StorCli.  They're available in 
 the work-in-progress ports collection, see 
 http://sourceforge.net/p/freebsdwip/wiki/Home/.
 
 Note that LSI has made a lot of changes to the naming conventions and 
 directory structure of the distfiles, so the ports differ by a lot more 
 than just PORTVERSION.
 
 Note also that x11/nvidia-driver deals with the same version/chipset 
 support issues.  It might be worth looking at how they handle it.
