Two new ports

Seeing there was quite a few people asking for a Google Earth port, I spent a few minutes to write it and added it to the Ports Collection. Following the commit, there has been quite a long discussion about issues with Google Earth on FreeBSD. To summarize, you need:

  • linux_base-fc4 and linux-xorg-libs installed (no other linux_base and no linux-XFree86-libraries),

  • GL acceleration, easy with nvidia driver (just remember to set WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes), I don’t know about anything else.

I’ve also committed a port for OpenBSM after rwatson asked if somebody wanted to do it on #bsdports.
