antlr 3.0 was just released on May 17, 2007, but already the 2.7.7  
archive is no longer available from antlr.org. That's rather  
inconvenient of them.

antlr 3.0 seems to be substantially different than 2.7.7 and I don't  
feel comfortable updating someone else's port to a new major version.  
I don't know anything about antlr, so I don't even know whether or  
not the antlr port should even be updated to 3.0, or whether instead  
for example a new port antlr3 should be created. I'm Cc'ing the  
maintainer. In the mean time, I'm changing the port's master site so  
that 2.7.7 can be downloaded from a different location.
