Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

AVLtree is a small, malloc-based, in-memory index package generally
like B-trees and hash tables.
The interface resembles that of the BPLUS (B-tree) index package.
Index creation options are:
- fixed-length binary keys OR variable-length string keys
- unique OR duplicate keys
- with duplicate keys:
standard (void *) pointers for each key OR
instance-counting (saves time and memory)
Key insert/search time is O(log N). References:
