[vee] FreeBSD Port Update

--

I  noticed that vee in the FreeBSD ports tree was an old version,
and that lead me to discover that it no longer had a  maintainer.

I am happy to report that I made an attempt to update vee via the
official FreeBSD ports process, and I've also volunteered to  be-
come the port maintainer.

The  process  was  fun (for me :), and I hope that they let me be
the official maintainer - I don't see why they wouldn't.  I found
the  FreeBSD ports team to be exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Could this pave the way for me to get more involved with FreeBSD?
I  sure  hope so - one day I might graduate to some more substan-
tial roles; being a port maintainer of an insignificant port  re-
ally only gives one a single direction to go - up.

I  have  not heard from anyone regarding vee in sometime - that's
okay because it either means that there are  no  problems  or  no
users...except me; and I am just fine by that.

Cheers
