Please remove german/cheapcall port (was: FreeBSD ports: 1 unfetchable distfiles: german/cheapcall)

[Peter Cornelius]

Hi folks, 
 
please be so kind and remove the port, I have attempted several times to
contact the 
author(s) and to locate the distfiles. As it seems, it has been
discontinued. 
 
Thanks a lot, 
 
all the best, 
 
Peter.
