Thank you very much for the informative reply, Emil.
I'm happy to make the investment (creating the FreeBSD port).
I currently already maintain several FreeBSD ports. So it's not
all that unfamiliar. :)
I just didn't want to "start from scratch" if I didn't need to. :)
I give a closer look, and see what I can find. Maybe Jean-Sébastien
will also have something to say.

Thank you again, Emil, for the reply.
