[ excerpt from developer's web site ]
This is a GPL licensed C++ class library wrapping the berkeley
sockets C API, and therefore works on most unixes and also win32.
Features include, but are not limited to, SSL support, IPv6 support,
tcp and udp sockets, encrypted tcp, http protocol, highly customizable
error handling. Testing has been done on Linux and Windows 2000,
and to some part on Solaris and Mac OS X.

Remove expired ports:
2010-10-14 devel/p5-P4: Depends of p5-P4-Client, which is DEPRECATED.
2010-01-08 devel/p5-P4-Client: has been broken for 11 months
2010-10-14 net-p2p/btpeer: Does not build with net/Sockets and is unmaintained.
2009-07-01 net-mgmt/net-snmp4: Use net-mgmt/net-snmp port instead
2010-10-14 net/gkrellm_snmp: Depends of net-snmp4, that is deprecated also and
will be removed soon.
2010-10-14 net/Sockets-devel: Older than net/Sockets and unmaintained.
Deprecate net/Sockets-devel, it's older than net/Sockets and unmaintained, i
just don't remove it now because it has a dependant port.
Deprecate net-p2p/btpeer also, it depends of net/Sockets-devel but doesn't
build with newer version of Sockets, no new version upstream, no answer from
author and unmaintained.
1 month to remove both
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.
