Sorry Mark, but this port was marked forbidden for ALMOST 2 1/2 YEARS without anyone caring enough to fix it: I have no regrets about removing it. Unmaintained ports which have serious problems will be removed from the ports collection. That's my policy - if you don't want broken ports to be removed, I suggest you spend some time on fixing them.
