It's easier to install it on my computers that way.  :-)

Did you look over the patches in the port?  The rm/chmod path fixes in 
the makefile for freedink-data, and the itlocale change in the dfarc 
Makefile.in.in, were the only things that needed port-specific patches.  
Patches are available here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/games/freedink-data/files/patch-Makefile?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/games/freedink-dfarc/files/patch-po_Makefile.in.in?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain

I set up the options to default to enabling embedded resources, since it 
was hinted that's what was preferred, and hardcoded disabling upx since 
I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to enable it.  :-)

Also, I noticed that the main site and the GNU mirror sites have 
different sets of files.  Haven't gone back and checked if that is fixed 
yet or not.

It was pretty straightforward to do the port though... when I came 
across FreeDink, I was actually expecting to have to do some porting.  I 
looked at the code back when it was released and decided that I didn't 
care enough at the time to do anything about it.  Recently, I decided to 
go back and slowly pick away at it and discovered that it was already 
finished.  miwi@ stepped up and fixed my initial porting efforts and 
checked it in so now I just need to figure out where to subscribe to 
update announcements.  :-)

Thanks for your time and effort!
