dd@ has had his port bit taken for safekeeping.  Therefore, return these
to the pool.

Mark DEPRECATED, this is available from the base system.
Personally I think this should be removed because all
supported branches now have nc(1) in base system.

Implement an option -o ("Once only") that allows this netcat utility
to terminate at the first EOF condition on local input (as opposed to
waiting for the network end to shut down).  Can be useful when talking
to network servers that never drop the connection on their end, like
an port 9100 printer server in my case.

I've also submitted that to the OpenBSD maintainer, so in case they
accept, we can later on undo my local patch.

Add Yet Another incarnation of netcat to the ever-growing ports tree.   This one
is a rewrite by one of the OpenBSD folks, and features   cleaner code and IPv6
support (which neither of the others have).
