I would be willing to help out, but I've never submitted anything to be=20
committed. In what form do you want the files (a diff)? Secondly who do I=20
send them to. Since a lot of ports are orphaned do I just post it to the=20
list? I'm not a programmer but I would like to learn portbuilding and I=20
figure this is a good place to start.

Thanks,

Beech=20
