OK, done.
There's a bigger problem, though: I did some cursory testing before
committing this port, and it made all the right noises. But when I
tried to use it in earnest, I fell through the false floor, and there
be daemons. I've spent some time trying to fix the problems, but I'm
beginning to wonder if it's worth it.
So, here we have a newly born port, abandoned by its mother. What do
we do? I can think of a number of things:
1. Delete it.
2. Mark it as "deprecated" and go through the process.
3. Send the results and the patches back to the author and see if he
cares.
My suggestion is (2) and (3), but I'll go along with a majority
decision.
