Thanks for the heads-up, and I'm sure a number of us have now tentatively put
this on our to-do lists.  However, we're all overworked volunteers here, so
the quickest and easiest way you can make this happen is probably if you
create and submit such a port yourself!  :-)  For details on how, see:

If you do embark on that course and you encounter any difficulties, just
give a shout to the -ports list...
