multimedia/ogle: patch or update to latest CVS

There is a certain problem with ogle and Xv attribute
XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY where sometimes one can get a black/blue
screen/window instead of a normal playback.

It is described (rather colorfully) here:
http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/software/ogle-after-mplayer.php
and touched upon here:
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/ogle-user/2006-April/000024.html
the above link also mentions that the problem was fixed in ogle CVS code.
Google can certainly give more results.

There is a workaround for the issue, but it seems that it was actually
fixed in ogle CVS quite a long time ago. Unfortunately, there was no
ogle release for even longer.
I assume that the fix lies in revisions 1.118, 1.119, 1.120 of the
following file:
http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ogle/ogle/mpeg2_video/video_output_x11.c

I think that we can either create a port patch based on changes in those
revisions. Or maybe we could update ogle port to the latest CVS version
of code. Or maybe create a new ogle port (ogle-devel?) for that.
