 goffice is a library for (among other things) displaying charts in gtk
 applications. See:

 http://freshmeat.net/projects/goffice

 Macports currently has two ports for goffice: goffice and goffice03. The
 first one is for goffice0.6 (the current stable version), and goffice03 is
 for an older version.

 goffice 0.8 has been in development for a good while and is already being
 used by a number of projects as it fixes quite a few serious shortcomings
 with the current stable version. However is is still not finished and
 stable.

 I propose making a port called "goffice08" which packages the current
 development version (0.7.15) as goffice-0.8. This will let us write
 Portfiles for a number of programs, such as nip2 7.20.

 Ubuntu Karmic Koalla package goffice 0.7.8 as goffice0.8, for reference,
 so this is not totally crazy.

 I've written a Portfile which seems to work for me.
