Hey bob, got some questions for ya....

1. Where's the patch?
2. What's your right email address?
3. Why did it take you 5 weeks to do anything?
4. Why didn't you notice that ports/42630 to update it was already
   there?
5. You want me to maintain it - i'm a committer and i wrote a good
   part of the bsd stuff, as well as getting <24 hour response to 
   patches sent to author?
6. Why shouldn't I close this as a dupe of 42630?

Understood, but at least keeping the email updated should be a priority.
My policy (from my mentor) is that if the maintainer email is broken,
then either take the port or give it to ports@.

I took responsibility for it, and then was sick for almost 2 months
with pneumonia. I was going to do it tonight, in fact, about 15 minutes
after your mail arrived. 

If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it. I know the code inside out, and
can get bugfixes into the author's tree in a  matter of hours.

I'm going to break with std policy and use a CVS version and host the
tarball, since I use it, fix it and keep up with it.

Thanks. I wasn't angry, but I was annoyed. I appreciate your fast
response.
