This is a port of Orca which is Blair Zajac's incredibly useful
tool for making web-viewable graphs of arbitrary data from text
files.
Uses a configuration file which describes which text files to read,
what the columns in the files mean, and how that information should
be graphed.
Often run as a daemon, automatically updating as files change.
Often run with the Orcallator.se script for Solaris machines and
corresponding configuration file (just because you collect the data
on a Solaris box doesn't mean you have to graph it on one too).
Written in Perl, uses RRDtool for data storage and graph generation.

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
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.
Before bsd.port.pre.mk, set either USE_PERL5 or WANT_PERL, depending on
whether the perl dependency is unconditional or conditional. This will
be needed for the conditional inclusion of bsd.perl.mk.
First steps in a big migration:
Move net/rrdtool to databases/rrdtool.
It's an itch which needs to be scratched: net/rrdtool came from
net/mrtg, which was a good location for it. net/mrtg has later
been moved to net-mgmt/mrtg. net/rrdtool is "Round Robin Database
Tools", therefor it's better if it moves to databases/rrdtool.
Same with net/rrdtool10.

Fix an incompatible change in RRDtool 1.2 where colons in COMMENT
arguments to RRDs::graph must be escaped with a backslash.
