Hello,

I want to use fvwm2, current version, but do not want international
extentions. I do need a feature from the latest version (2.0.45).

Now looking in /usr/ports, I see that the current fvwm2 version is
available only in some internationalized version. The original fvwm2
is not kept up-to-date apparently; from the fvwm2-english Makefile:

BROKEN="Superceded by internationalized fvwm2 port, but cast aside just
 in case someone might want to get back to it in the future"

Is this really a good idea? Should not the japanese version be put in
/usr/ports/japanese, and the original version be normally maintained?

This way I would need to install it without using the ports scheme,
but that is a pity.
