  net-mgmt/cflowd: Deprecate and expire on 15 August 2014
  
  I tried to fix this port for modern C++ compilers, I really did.  I
  had come up with a couple of dozen patches and some REIMPLACE_CMD fixes
  too.  It almost compiled.  I seemed to have lost that all those patches
  since then though.  tijl@ had a similar experience a few months ago.
  
  This port was released by the maintainer 10 years ago.  Among the reasons
  stated was that maintainance was impossible to do correctly without access
  to netflow-speaking routers.  Also, no new release of the source code was
  ever made, it's still in beta.
  
  Therefore I recommend that this port requires a true maintainer, one that
  has access to netflow routers.  Given that the source was never updated, I
  am not sure its even still useful 10 years later.  So I recommend this
  port be pruned on 15 August 2014 if no suitable maintainer shows up.
  
  The port is also unstaged.
