------------------------+--------------------------------
 This is an amazing graphical frontend to the Faust compiler which makes it
 easy for new Faust users to try out Faust programs and compile them to the
 desired target architectures. It uses an embedded Faust compiler based on
 the LLVM JIT, so no external Faust compiler toolchain or SDK is required.
 Faust programs can be changed on the fly and the user can instantly listen
 to the results. So this is an ideal learning tool for anyone who wants to
 get into Faust.

 The very latest Faust2 from git is required to build FaustLive, cf. my
 update request in ticket #45349 (still open as I write this, so this needs
 to be committed beforehand).

 Ryan, since this is the very first port of a native Aqua application that
 I've done, it would be nice if you could check whether I've done this
 correctly. The application installs into /Applications/MacPorts, as
 mandated by the MacPorts guide, and bundled documentation files go into
 the usual ${prefix}/share/doc/faustlive-devel. I've tested this port as
 well as I could and it works fine on Mavericks for me.

 The Faust2-related libraries are linked statically, so that neither
 faust2-devel nor LLVM is needed at runtime. The application also requires
 Qt; I couldn't make it work with qt5-mac from MP (there are some strange
 linker errors I don't understand yet, will see whether I can get that
 sorted out later), so the port depends on qt4-mac for now.
