The State Threads is a small application library which provides a
foundation for writing fast and highly scalable Internet applications
(such as web servers, proxy servers, mail transfer agents, and so on) on
UNIX-like platforms. It combines the simplicity of the multithreaded
programming paradigm, in which one thread supports each simultaneous
connection, with the performance and scalability of an event-driven
state machine architecture. In other words, this library offers a
threading API for structuring an Internet application as a state
machine.
The State Threads library is a derivative of the Netscape Portable
Runtime library (NSPR).

Ccdoc is a tool for extracting comments from C++ source code and presenting it
in HTML format, very similar to Java's JavaDoc tool. The tagging used in ccdoc
is very similar to that of Javadoc, with adaptations for the C++ specifics, of
course. Ccdoc supports extracting comments from both header and implementation
files.
In contrast to most other C++ doc'ing applications, ccdoc analyses the code
before it has been run through the pre-processor, so things such as macros can
actually be included in the documentation.
It's usage is not quite as straight forward as JavaDoc's, but considering the
quality of the output, it is well worth the effort.

I was planning to rename pyncurses into more appropriate py-ncurses
before committing it out, but forgot to do so. Therefore delete
pyncurses and readd it back as py-ncurses.
Py-ncurses is a Ncurses binding for Python.

AutoGen is a tool designed for generating program files that contain
repetitive text with varied substitutions. Its goal is to simplify the
maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text.
This is especially valuable if there are several blocks of such text that
must be kept synchronized.
Understand can parse a C/C++ project helping reverse engineer it
[begin snip from the www site]
Understand parses any sized C or C++ project to help you reverse
engineer, document and understand it and thus maintain it better.
It supports K&R C, ANSI C, or C++ source code. Projects can contain
mixed C/C++ code as well. The parser is efficient, fast, and can
handle very large projects. Very little is needed to get started
- just aim it at your source tree. Optionally (and for more parsing
accuracy) add any externally defined macro definitions and include
paths. All of this is done from the GUI - you should be able to do
an initial analysis of your project in a few minutes.
Understand for C++ quickly documents Class inheritance hierarchies
(Base Class and Derived Classes), Call and CallBy Trees, Include
and Include By Trees, as well as where and how everything in your
source code is used (cross reference). Understand for C++ creates
detailed automatic documentation about your source code in HTML
and text reports Using the PERL and C API you can write your own
documentation generators.

- Instalation issues:
This port has a hardcoded directory structure which is required to
run it. Therefore, some measures are necessary to install it under
FreeBSD following handbook rules'
1) All files but binaries are installed according to hier(7)
2) A fake structure is created under ${PREFIX}/lib/understand_c to
please the program and soft links are made there to the correct
locations under hier(7)
3) The binaries are installed under ${PREFIX}/lib/understand_c/bin
and a wrapper is installed under ${PREFIX}/bin pointing to the fake
structure
4) Since a license is required to run the program, warnings are
issued when either it is installed or a package is added
5) Since the legal status is still being debated with the developers,
it will be marked as RESTRICTED for the time being and LEGAL
will be updated accordingly

Allegro is a cross-platform library intended for use in computer games and
other types of multimedia programming.
The WITHOUT_DEVEL option will prevent installation of some development
utilities, while WITHOUT_MAN won't install the (many) manual pages.

c2lib is a library of basic structures and memory allocators for C.
It is designed to look similar to C++ STL with many powerful string
features borrowed also from Perl.
