--- Comment #7 from jsmith at resonatingmedia.com ---
That is really weird. I did a search for nq on FreshPorts the other day before
I started work on the port and got no results. Guess it's already ported.

The reason I forked upstream is the maintainer doesn't seem to have done any
work on nq in the past four years and has rejected any porting/documentation
pull requests. It's less about getting the new Makefile in place and just
gaining a chance to keep working on it.

Bottom line is I plan to continue the source fork whether it's useful for the
FreeBSD port or not, so we might as well use it.

Though now I'm thinking maybe it makes more sense to submit a patch against the
existing nq port rather than get this one committed.
