Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 blb@…]:
 > Can the portgroup be merged into trunk now, I see the group itself
 hasn't had updates in a couple of weeks and the list of ports using it is
 increasing?  Then we could also merge to the 1.7 branch and cut a 1.7.2 so
 it gets added quickly.
 Unfortunately, it can not be merged into the trunk because I have not
 gotten it to work correctly within the base code.[[BR]]
 I continue to work on it, and as soon as it is minimally functional, I
 will submit it.

 The reason the list continues to grow is because I or one of my colleagues
 wanted a 32/64-bit universal of a library (or dependency) for our
 work.[[BR]]
 As I get them to work, I have been committing the results.[[BR]]
 If this is causing any type of problem, please let me know.
