Folks,

Let me repeat once more than if you are considering "splitting" a port 
up, please drop me a note.  It doesn't matter whether the new one is
"foo-current" or "bar-stable" or "baz5" or whatever.  If there already 
exists a port of a different version of the same software in the ports 
tree, tell me first.

Doing it right from the beginning is trivial -- fixing it up
afterwards is virtually impossible.

Satoshi
