New description:

 I would like to see Macports add a port for the codegroup program.  It is
 useful for ham radio where one wants to transmit a binary file using only
 alphanumeric characters.

 The web page and source code is found here:
 https://www.fourmilab.ch/codegroup/

 The source is in the public domain.  From the man page:

        This software is in the public domain.  Permission to use, copy,
 modify, and
        distribute  this  software and its documentation for any purpose
 and without
        fee is hereby granted, without any conditions or restrictions.
 This  soft-
        ware is provided ``as is'' without express or implied warranty.

 A makefile is provided.  The source compiles fine on my Mac running Lion.
 The tests in "make check" also complete without any errors.  I have also
 been able to use the software without any issues so far.

 But please note that one needs to manually install the binary and man page
 into the right directories because the developer failed to include "make
 install" in the makefile.

 It should be easy to create a portfile.
