 As mentioned in my previous email, this port does not work as expected since 
 it is i386 only at the moment.  
 
 Do you have a server to host some packages on (the i386 packages from the 
 FreeBSD build infrastructure)?  If so I could create a script that will 
 automatically update the amd64 portion of the port when a change is detected 
 (perhaps a dailly periodic script).

 It has been a pleasure.  And thank you for your advice.
