>Description:
If you install the port for TightVNC it will overwrite the
existing binaries for the standard VNC port in ${X11BASE}/bin
without any notification or warning. This is unlikely to be
desired behavior.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the net/vnc port and then install net/vnc-tight.
>Fix:
Check for net/vnc installation before installing and prompt.
Also the name of the application is 'tightvnc' but its stored
in ports as 'vnc-tight' because of this it is not matched if
you search the ports tree for it.
