Autoloader is on my list of commits for today as are the rest of the available

I agree, and getting the ports in www to have some consistency has been a long
term project of mine. I'm trying to avoid having half the port in www and the
rest in pear. Also, I couldn't find a way to respect prefix doing things the
"pear" way. I did briefly consider just rolling everything into a big tarball,
but then updates wouldn't be as easy and there would be likely more problems.
I'm aware that everything got split up. At present there are approx 65
dependencies that go with the new series. I will get them all in, but it'll
take some time to get everything out of pear. In the meantime, you can use
"pear install -a -B" to add any missing dependencies. Pear is in the search
path, so they'll work.

Any contribution you'd like to make is welcome. This is a big project and
another set of eyes is good. If you find anything missing dependencies, please
let me know and I'll add the depends to the individual port.

I'll take a look at turba today. I don't believe LDAP is hard coded (except
maybe in pear). LDAP should be configurable from the horde configs.
I do plan to package the dependencies as a mega port similar to php5-
extensions, but right now I need to concentrate on just getting everything
into the tree and working. I do have everything installed locally in
"${PREFIX}/www/horde" and so far I haven't seen any serious breakage. I did
look into re-training pear install, but that would have taken as much work as
just modifying them to use our standard port install.
I'll cc this over to ports@ as there may be others who have suggestions or
could benefit from the process.
