MacPorts’ old (ancient might be a better word) ogre port doesn’t build any more.

A new version is mostly done, with a nearly workable Portfile 
<https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53338 
<https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53338>>, but I don’t use this software.

NOTE: Do not “sudo port install” this Portfile, or you’ll have a mess on your 
hands. It’s at the “builds, but needs the installation sorted out” stage. You 
can see how it works if you “sudo port -v destroot” it.

The destrooting of the software looks really messed up using the default 
install script.

It’s easy enough to rearrange this, but I don’t use this software. Apparently 
it is used in conjunction with modelling tools, and no doubt these tools have 
expectations about how things should be installed.

Also, I see the old ogre port took pains to install a static version of the 
library, which is not the MacPorts “way”.

If there is anyone who does actually use this software and has insight or 
thoughts into how it should most optimally be laid out, I’d like some input to 
finish this off for you.

If there is a macports dev who uses this software, please take it over from 
here if you want to.
