This has been asked and answered several times ... this can't be
integrated until I can test it thoroughly, and I can't do that until I
can use it on my systems, and I can't do *that* until (at minimum) the
nvidia driver problem is fixed. And all of THAT presupposes that I have
time to work on the integration, testing, etc.

That said, I have looked at the patch, and there are enough problems
with it that I wouldn't want to integrate it as is. When I have time I
plan to set up a vbox and test out pkg, at which point I can start
looking more carefully at integrating it into portmaster proper.

The good news is that the latest is the last revision of portmaster that
I have planned for a while.
