  Added files:
    graphics/libfpx/files patch-types 
  Log:
  Add the patch which lets this port compile on Alphas without evident
  breakage on i386 or Sparc64. Tested on: beast, panther, an x86 -current
  (aldan.algebra.com) and x86 -stable (corbulon.video-collage.com).
  
  The patch puts a bunch of casting and type-changing band-aids, but this
  software package desperately needs a good maintainer -- to properly fix
  it -- int32s are mixed with longs, etc.
  
  Unfortunately, the package is lacking any self-testing facilities, so
  it may well not work properly, even though it compiles. This is true even
  for x86, BTW, although less likely, because that's where it was developed.
  
  Since the patch is not expected to change the result on x86, there is no
  PORTREVISION bump.

  The problem also reported directly to this maintainer by: Jun Ushida
