The following ports will not build with a binutils 2.22+ linker built
with standard options. This has been obvious with DPorts, but difficult
to see on FreeBSD. However, setting the ports compiler as a recent gcc
(e.g lang/gcc48) is an excellent way to detect the unspecified but needed
libraries as these recent GCC compilers use the latest binutils linkers.
These patches were tested on FreeBSD 8.4 and DragonFly 3.5
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Gromit (GRaphics Over MIscellaneous Things) is a small tool
to make annotations on the screen.
When making presentations of the Gimp I found myself often
moving the mousepointer around the point of interest until
hopefully everybody noticed it. This annoyed me, since it
is a very vague way to highlight something. I dreamt of a
small programm which allows me to simply draw on the screen,
ignoring any window-borders.
