I would *really* recommend upgrading. There are some bugs in 2.0 that are fixed in 2.0.5, and now 2.1 is out. You can't pull the package, but you could pull the port off ok, if that existed. Or pull the source and recompile it for yourself. Mainly, the executable format changed slightly between 2.0 and 2.0.5 (there is a compat2x library). You have to recompile them.
