>Description:
COBF is a C/C++ code obfuscator useful for projects that want to release
cross-platform packages which are partially closed source. An example is
src/sys/dev/ce/tau32-ddk.c.

>How-To-Repeat:
n/a

>Fix:
The port is available at:

	http://g-rave.nl/junk/freebsd-ports-devel-cobf.tar.gz

Please note: the 'copyright.txt' disallows patching the sourcecode
without explicit permission from the author. Binary packages are not
permitted without shipping the source.

I contacted the author of COBF (emails available per request) and we are
allowed to patch 'src/cpp/makefile' (see 'files/patch-makefile'). He
also permits us shipping binary-only packages (because users can obtain
the source with 'make fetch' anyway).
