[beports] Re: Port additions

I'll read over the guidelines later today.  I'm going to try to go
through the roadmap list and try to get previous port info posted for
each item, so if/when someone gets around to it there will be a place
to start from.  Also knowing a contact person who attempted or
succeeded at previous ports might be helpful as well.

I also added a few more port requests in the past few days but marked
them as unscheduled.  Not sure if we want to roll any of those into M1
or not.
I still haven't had a chance to get a complete native build system put
together.  I do have one setup on ubuntu but will that work for
attempting ports or are you doing it from within Haiku?  I could try
out the updated haikuware dev vmware image and see if that one works
for me now, the April 7th one didn't get too far into the build before
running into memory issues.

I told Luc about BePorts as well, he's done ports from ZetaGames and
has had to port supporting libraries in the process.

I wonder if we should also add in all of the libraries that were part
of the LibPak on bebits?  That hasn't been updated in 3 years or so.
Those are handy to have if you want to play many of the games (and
other programs) posted on BeBits.  Some of them are already part of
Haiku so we could skip those.
