Well, not dead, really. And 1.6.4 was put there in preparation for the
1.6.4 release, but what's sitting on the web site has a couple flaws, thus I
hadn't switched anything over.

I'm certainly no wizard with WWW! If you wanted to webcopy the tree and
then tune up the layout and content, we could probably set up some sort of
periodic refresh of the web server's tree.

The more ported, the better. I'm very open to suggestions. And I'll be
happy to fold anything ported into vsta/src/bin/ports and make it available
through the distribution.
