    I agree. I think even tcpdump, libpcap, and ssl stuff should be in
    ports. Currently these are in the src/contrib tree. I know they
    currently have utility there for the base system. We moved the base
    away from perl dependence, I think these dependencies should be worked
    out as well. I really dislike -stable and -release
    having out-of-date versions of these packages.

    This is only my personal opinion. I think the WITH_XXXX_OVERWITE_BASE
    make options help substantiate it, however.
