Initial import of binary package for D Programming Language
DESCR:
D Programming Language
Quotes from webpage of project:
""It seems to me that most of the "new" programming languages fall into one
of two categories: Those from academia with radical new paradigms and those
from large corporations with a focus on RAD and the web. Maybe its time for
a new language born out of practical experience implementing compilers.""
-- Michael
D was conceived in December 1999 as a successor to C and C++, and has grown
and evolved with helpful suggestions and critiques by author'sfriends and
colleagues. Take a look at the document and decide for yourself - the quick
comparison of D with C, C++, C# and Java at

license issues (take license.txt from WRKSRC perhaps)
src/ directory - could we use it to compile a native version? I haven't
looked at it too close.
is ${install_data_dir} emul/usr/src needed in Makefile?
sort plist ;)

TODO:
$Id$
I expect this not to build anywhere except my FreeBSD box. The code has a
lot of portability defines anyway, so please help with patching it.
Linux makefile uses -lesd unconditionally.
Perhaps make USE_ESD_AUDIO configureable, currently it is turned off by
default.
HTTP support disabled unconditionally, doesn't compile on FreeBSD.
nasm support would be definetley *worth* doing, currently disabled (nasm is
not used in Makefile.nol; it is used in Makefile, but on the other hand,
that Makefile has some other trouble). I am leaving out nasm for the sake of
portability... and I need that decoder just to recode some MPC files to OGG
or MP3, so why should I bother ;)
do-install could perhaps install some extra files (is there a manpage in
WRKSRC?)
Basically, mppdec should use some other makefile (or some kind of configure
script) to be more portable. Please help developing it, if you have skills
to do such thing, e-mail author or at least MAINTAINER of this package with
some code.

DESCR:
MPC (MusePack) is a new format for compressing audio data, like mp3 or ogg.
This package contains a MPC decoder, that allows you to listen or uncompress
MPC audio data.
Advantages of this decoder (from project's WWW page):
* really fast!
* direct support of Audio devices under UNIX, Solaris and Windows!
* realtime support on Unix and POSIX 1.b
* support of AMDs 3DNow! and Intels SSE
* support of reading ID3 tags (version 1 and 1.1)
* multiple files support
* runs also on 16 and 64 bit CPUs, not only on 32 bit
* needs less memory
* 32 bit, dithering and noise shaping support, (explanation)
* Microsoft WAVE, Apple AIFF and Raw PCM support
