 Eric, have you given thought to submitting a port to add devel/ptlib
 so that net/opal and such can use it instead of the, outdated, pwlib?
 
 I don't have any interest in maintaining that new port (I will if you
 don't want to). However if you would like to submit a PR to add that
 port it'd be great. I'll help get PRs submitted to move applications
 from pwlib to ptlib.
 
 If you don't have anything to start with you might want to take a look
 at http://steve.energistic.com/h323-ports/ptlib.tgz. Its a FreeBSD port
 for ptlib 2.2.4 based on your patch from PR-128140. If it looks good
 and you want to be port Maintainer then by all means submit a PR to get
 it added. If you don't then I'll submit the PR.
 
 In all cases I consder PR-128140 to be closeable since upgrading
 devel/pwlib per that PR causes way more problems than it solves.
 
 Let me know.
 
 -Steve
