security/cracklib is the 3rd largest port by source size.  If you discount
absurdly huge pkg-plist files and vuxml (which is a special case), you can
consider it the largest port in the collection:

Combined size of ports: 369.4 Mb
The Top 20 ports by size account for 8.48% of the collection

I think these cracklib files could be easily compressed in a tarball and stored
in LOCAL/cy, and treated like a normal distfile right?

Can I request that this be done?  I know you inherited it like this, but it was
wrong in the first place.

Thanks,
John
