Please create a new PR, that way we won't forget it. I will be gone for  
vacation for a week (start on this Sun) and start a new job after  
vacation. Also, FreeBSD 7.1 is about to be release in next week and team  
will be busy with merging stuff from MarcusCom CVS into FreeBSD ports tree.

Cheers,
Mezz
