Hi John,

I don't know the answer to your question, but I've been helping out on 
that package, so if you could email me the new Portfile before 
committing it to check it out, I would appreciate it.

BTW, I think we have a standard of naming beta ports with -devel and not 
-beta, as I can't find a single Port with the string beta in it.

Regards,
Blair
