Is this a security concern?
I've never used this port before, but it looks intersting.

By doing

rm distinfo*
make makesum

I can install this port. Is this not a good idea?



However, it seems the binaries provided (to get the sources
one has to buy a licence) are only for i386:

Should there be an ONLY_FOR_ARCHS defined for this port then?
