How do you get it to build though? Here's what I got:

[/usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs]# make
===>  win32-codecs-3.1.0.p8_1,1 has known vulnerabilities:
=> win32-codecs -- multiple vulnerabilities.
   Reference: 
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/24f6b1eb-43d5-11db-81e1-000e0c2e438a.html>;
=> Please update your ports tree and try again.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs.
