Yes, I know updates to stable are against standard operating procedure around here but this case might warrant an exception... I thought it was odd that the distfile had been removed from just about everywhere but then remembered reading this: http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-112006.html#00001021 It is possible the distfile was deleted from everywhere because it contained something unsavory in one of the codecs, but unfortunately, I can find no proof (either way) of this assumption. If the distfile was removed because of a malware or exploit problem, then it's better to leave -stable broken than it is to mirror the distfile. Anyhow, since it's just a bunch of compiled windows executables, this port is extremely "blobish" for lack of a better way to say it. I just needed to test something with it but now that I'm done, I'll be removing the package. thoughts? JCR
