1.33      miod       61: This port was eventually thrown away after OpenBSD 2.5 was released.
                     62: As a result there was no OpenBSD/powerpc port for the 2.6 and 2.7 releases.
                     63: In the meantime, a new port was started, focusing on Apple hardware, and
                     64: based on code from NetBSD/macppc, and after a lot of work from Dale Rahn,
                     65: OpenBSD 2.8 was released with a powerpc port.
                     66: As work on the port continued, it was renamed to OpenBSD/macppc for 3.0.
