I have some concerns with this commit:

$ grep -i libqgl /usr/ports/MOVED
graphics/libqglviewer||2013-07-26|Has expired: Depends on Qt 3.x

Why it was not properly resurrected but readded as a new port?

More to it, it is badly named.  Most open source repositories name it as
``libqglviewer'' (and it was properly named in Qt 3.x times in FreeBSD),
that includes Debian-based (Ubuntu, Mint, Deepin, etc.) and Arch (I was a
bit surprised to see mixed-case name in RedHat's and Gentoo's packages).

That said, would you be so kind to remove newly added port and properly
repocopy the previous one (to retain the history) and preserving the old
nice lowercase name?  Thank you,

./danfe
