It was ported once but got removed from the ports tree years ago - I fail to remember what was the issue back then. So while those libs could be kept there, they are not much of a use without any real using component anyway. If you still think its useful to keep them I can revert this commit and hand them over to ports@ because I don't intend to maintain them anymore. I don't see a real worlds benefit in doing so. We have no usage statistics of those ports of course but I doubt that anyone is using them - because what would they use them for and it shouldn't be in the ports system just to have it. It should serve a purpose. Regards, Oliver
