Why do we need this port?
Unlike other *-{stable,current} ports or packages, which "current" means
the next major version of "stable" (e.g. stable is 2.2 and current is 3.0),
the openwebmail itself only have one branch. The openwebmail-current doesn't
belong to a release version yet, it is only a tarball of currently devloping
source tree, so the distfile will always be named as "openwebmail-current.tgz",
and it may be rerolled after every modifications, even several times a day.
Under this situation, I don't think it should be put into FreeBSD ports.
If you insist, openwebmail and openwebmail shouldn't be maintained separately.
The only difference between these two ports is PORTVERSION (and distinfo,
of course). openwebmail-current should be made as a slave port of openwebmail.
