 * Sorry.  I've spoken with the authors and they're beta-testing a version that
 * runs under 4.1, I suggest that if you want it, you ping them and bring back
 * a new port, or just do it locally.
 * 
 * Remember, not every piece of software that runs on your computer need be an
 * freebsd port. :-)

That's true, but it's very un-nice to yank carpets out from below
people's feet.

In the future, I suggest you just mark them BROKEN, or at least ask on 
the lists first before you remove a port.  Just because someone did
the original port doesn't give that person rights to unilaterally
remove a port.  (You aren't even the MAINTAINER of this port!)
