datapipe.c is a simple program that allows a listening TCP/IP port to be
constructed on the machine it is running on. Any connections to that port
will then be forwarded to the specified remote host and remote port. This
program can be useful for allowing your Distributed.net clients
communicate to the outside world by running it on a gateway machine that
has access to both the inside firewall and the outside realworld.
Additionally, if you live behind a SOCKS firewall, you can compile this
code with SOCKS support for your system and use it to act as a
"SOCKS translator" for your Distributed.net clients. In this case,
datapipe doesn't even need to be run on a gateway machine.
===> The following configuration options are available for datapipe-1.0_1:
NOFORK=off: Do not fork and background
REUSEADDR=on: Reuse the listening socket address
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Clean up my ports (and a couple of ports@ owned ones):

- Change ordering of LICENSE lines
- Fix new header format
- Etc.

dbaker@FreeBSD.org has been inactive in the ports community for over
a year now, so return his ports to the unmaintained pool in the hopes
that someone will adopt them and give them a good home.
While here, pacify portlint on all of them.
Discussed with: various members of portmgr@, at various times over
the last few months.
