* a bugfix that closes a memory leak triggered by corrupted PAR2 files.
That fix is included in some linux vendors' libpar2 packages, and is
well-tested.
* The other adds additional functionality: a method to cancel a file
repair in progress. This patch can be disabled through a config option.
It is enabled by default because the only application in the ports tree
that links against libpar2 is news/nzbget. Nzbget makes use of this
functionality if it is available.

Libpar2 is a library for creating and using PAR2 files to detect
damage in data files and repair them if necessary. It can be used with
any kind of file. Par files are especially popular on Usenet.
Libpar2 is extracted from par2cmdline, and distributed separately.
