I'm open to suggestions on this one.

It seems to me that the bsd-port repo. is slowing down prior to absorption into the mainline.

In this case, maybe the rational thing is to reparent to a faster-moving repo.

In particular, I think we should reparent to from bsd-port/bsd-port to hsx/hotspot-comp .  That's (approximately) where our future is anyway.

Current diffs only in bsd-port (which are necessary for mac builds!) can be posted as a suitably conditional part of the mlvm patch queue.

Comments?
