Some time ago I attempted something like a port, however my knowlege at that time was not sufficient to get it running. Currently I'm running an OS X system as my default platform (since FreeBSD still lacked/lacks decent sleep/hybernation support; and for that seriously applies I do not have the knowlege to fix it) so maintaining a port is going to be difficult. However maybe I'll try again just to prove myself I can create a port. So in short: When I was saying "it's a shame.." I was also refering to myself indeed ... Regards, -- - Frank
