I have no specific need for the Atlas branch. i think it was more or less 
an accident. I tried both, the Mimas and the Atlas release and found the 
same bugs.
If one compiles devel/pwlib with -O2 all applications linked against the 
dynamic library will core dump, at least when the apllication is closed. 
This happens somewhere in "PSoundFactory" and i dont really know why.
Videoinput via /dev/bktr is broken in Mimas and Atlas, which i think is 
definitely a showstopper.
Anyway, i'm fine with Mimas, if we can solve the -O2 bug and the 
/dev/bktr bug.

my intention was to completely remove the old static pwlib/openh323 stuff 
and upgrade to the newer version with switching to dynamic linking.
The ports i touched are important to me so i included them in my 
patchwork. I brought net/gatekeeper to v2.2.2 some weeks ago and i have a 
patch ready to get it to v2.2.3, but i'm waiting for the pwlib/openh323 
upgrade too.
I think, if we have a final patchset ready we should send it at least to 
the net/asterisk and net/gnomemeeting maintainers to give them a chance to 
provide patches for these ports which respect the new dynamic 
infrastructure.
All other ports, especially the ones which do not even compile and 5.X and 
greater should be marked as broken and scheduled for removal if noone 
provides any patches for them.

I'm not sure about this, maybe this is the same thing i hit when compiling 
with -O2?
