Port builds cleanly on 7-RELEASE i386 and runs as expected.  Seems
there are still some stability issues that I remember hearing about
before.  Copying many small files to a truecrypt-mounted volume
appears to deadlock the system (I seem to remember this used to cause
a panic...) that I can't break out of by any apparent means.  I don't
think that's a problem with the port though.
