I'll try to see if I can get this one installed. It's just a bit a
chicken-and-egg situation. You need Python to use BePorter... but to
install Python you need BePorter... and the BeBits link is broken. Maybe
I can get this somehow fixed up. Never poked my nose though into this
haiku-porting thing so I don't really know how it works ( looks a bit
like Portage though ).
