 Attached is a new portfile. You will notice there is aleady a port of
 "pureftpd".  I am not sure how to deal with the name change.  This port is
 correctly named pure-ftpd.

 Significant amounts of the source have changed compared to the current
 port available to users.  Multiple files were installed referencing non
 prefix locations.

 I do not see any way that a port upgrade pureftpd would not make a rather
 large mess.

 Proper procedure would be, backup, port uninstall pureftpd, port install
 pure-ftpd

 Mention was made to there being a provision for a port renaming scheme,
 but since I am not versed in that, and can not find any docs, I would like
 to get this port into the system.  I think it is more important to get
 this port in place, as it solves many issues the old port did not.  This
 port also has an active maintainer that uses the port every day :)

 Now, to go remove the old port, and put this one in place... fun.
