Nor me, (I know how to run it :) ), but I would point out a possible
gotcha wile we're on the subject.
xscreensaver installs a binary called 'ant', so you need to be
careful to use ${PREFIX}/bin/ant, and not rely on the PATH.
It was pretty funny to see the PostgreSQL port fire up a screensaver and throw
Makefiles at it though...
