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... -- Simon's Law: Everything put together falls apart sooner or later.
