ports/lang/dylan/files/d2c.gz.uu is a huge file and should not be part
of the ports distribution - it should be a distfile.  Currently
everyone is forced to receive it.  It's 2.4 meg.  This could
cause a meltdown of CTM.

update ports	
>Fix:
redo the /usr/ports/lang/dylan port!

 Oh well, that was the cause of the 26 100KB CTM mails I received :(
 
 It cost me some $2 (metered local phone call, not *that* much, but 
 if you multiply by the number recipients that have to pay the same 
 amount it will become a relevant number ...) and now I'm considering 
 to unsubscribe from the CTM mail list before that file is removed 
 again (which I'm afraid will cause another delta of the same size).
 
 Please somebody try to get rid of this file in such a way that it 
 will not cause another flood of useless mail!
