Thanks for this.

Unfortunately PERMIT_PACKAGE_FTP will have to be set to no, as the
default state is "all rights reserved," including redistribution.
(https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/blob/master/LICENSE claims that
GLideN64 is GPLv2, but that's not valid since it's based on glN64
which is all rights reserved.)

The port is ok with me with all PERMIT_* set to no.

NEW: emulators/libretro-parallel-n64

[Ryan Freeman]

Attached is a new port for a nice Nintendo 64 emulator core, for 
retroarch.  It has several video backends within itself, and by
default it autodetects the best one to use.  In my testing, it
plays several games with less glitches (practically none?) compared
to even the mupen64plus standalone port in-tree!

This includes the ability to display the in-track video screens
in Mario Kart 64, or properly draw the puzzel-piece effect used
in Banjo-Kazooie.

Unfortunately, the license of this left me with more unanswered
questions than answers.  I have tried to be as verbose on that
matter as possible, but am unsure if we can even distribute via
PERMIT_PACKAGE_FTP.

Port passes lib-depends-check, port-lib-depends-check, and portcheck.

Comments? OK?
