Hi, Martin,

Thanks for that.  I submitted ports/116493 last night, which addresses
some of the issues you mention.  I don't have time to take on
maintainership of this port, but I can certainly work up some additional
patches to address the points you mention.  The websieve project itself
seems to have ground to a halt, with no development work since about
2004, but it is still widely recommended for dealing with sieve stuff.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
