Can somebody explain me, why databases/dbf2mysql has hardcoded
dependency to mysql323-client?

The Makefile contains:

LIB_DEPENDS= mysqlclient.10:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql323-client

But it is unbuildable

The sources to dbf2mysql were last modified around 2000, when mysql-3.2x
was current. Since then, it seems to have been pretty much abandoned.

A good candidate for deletion from the ports on grounds of obsolescence.

I attached two patches. Makefile.patch is for port's Makefile and
patch-mysql2dbf should be placed into files port directory.

Then it works with MySQL 5.0.x (tested with mysql-client-5.0.90)

I tested just a dbf2mysql command, patch for mysql2dbf is needed to
compile, but I did not tested it as I do not have any apps to test
produced dbf file.

Should I send a PR for this fix?
