I believe ade@ could comment on why that is.

Either way, this port is not something in the FreeBSD ports tree; you'll need to talk to the author. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
