I have suitably patched Contool 3.3A for FreeBSD. I would not mind
turning it into a 'port', and after confering with the author
he expressed no objections to a package (provided a copyright notice is
included in the long description file so it gets printed by pkg_info).

I have a Makefile and a patch. I tried reading the instructions in the
handbook for turning these into a port, but it didn't make much sense to me.
I've not used the 'ports' before. I've only installed packages (I am a
lazy turd).

If someone else wants to do all the work, the patch is at
http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/contool_patch.txt. The Makefile is simply what
you get after doing the 'obvious' things to the Makefile.dist that comes
with contool. :-)
