I'd suggest having textproc/expat2 for 1.95 repocopied from
textproc/expat, which should soon be updated to 1.2.

<quote from="http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html">
Development of expat 2.0 is being handled by a team led by Clark
Cooper, hosted by sourceforge.net. See http://expat.sourceforge.net
for the latest on expat 2.0.

The latest version of ruby-xmlparser (0.6.1) supports both expat 1.2
and 1.95, though I haven't update the port yet.

So, go for it, Kuriyama-san! :)

P.S.
I can take over the maintainership of expat 1.2 if two of you like.
In fact, I'm itching to rewrite its Makefile by using bsd.lib.mk. =)
