>Description:

	The upclient port is broken. The version currently fetched
	is no longer supported. I cannot reasonably port the new version
	of the upclient (4.03) because it requires all of the
	configuration settings (of which there are 3 to 5 depending on
	one's network environment) to be compiled into the binary.

	When the author restores the ability to read the configuration
	from a config file (or even a command-line parameter), then I'll
	update the port to that version.

		Alas, it seems a port has died
		despite much work to be revived.
		So this PR is to bury it
		until the BROKEN flag can be unset.
