Hmm, okay. So perhaps the port should depend on linprocfs.

Okay, so it seems the original creator of the port is not available at the
moment. What do you say I create a new shar file, based on his work, and add
it to the PR ? I'd apply the suggestions I made myself, and make the port
depend on linprocfs.
Or should I wait a little longer for the original creator to respond ?
