ports/astro/xearth/...
Wow, that is cool!
One problem with 23k ports is that a poor
ignorant user (myself) sometimes doesn't
know what is best for him/her. I was fretting
about not having a native Google earth
(I just don't like USE_LINUX=yes ports),
yet here is another brilliant port.
I just wonder why so few submitters on the list:
BUZI> wc /usr/local/lib/X11/xearth/freebsd.*
335 2284 17912 /usr/local/lib/X11/xearth/freebsd.committers.markers
73 386 3484 /usr/local/lib/X11/xearth/freebsd.ftp.markers
14 78 594 /usr/local/lib/X11/xearth/freebsd.submitters.markers

Mark, many thanks for the hint.
