Hello ports@,

Please find the attached tarball for OmegaT, a computer-assisted
translation (CAT) tool (not to be confused with machine
translation (MT).

>From DESCR:

-----------------------8<----------------------

OmegaT is a free translation memory application written in Java.
It is a tool intended for professional translators. It does not
translate for you! (Software that does this is called "machine
translation", and you will have to look elsewhere for it.)

-----------------------8<----------------------

I heavily ripped off^W^W based the Makefile on the one used for
devel/intellij so I'd appreciate any extra eyes looking out for
superfluous things that can be removed.

The only patch necessary was in the shell-script that launches
OmegaT.  I changed /bin/bash to /bin/sh and reduced the
pre-allocated Java heap from 1024 MB to 800 MB since it would
error out with the default.  I also forced anti-aliasing to be on
because the fonts were absolutely HIDEOUS and eye-strain inducing
without it.

I tried using it for basic functionality, and it seems no worse
for the wear, but importing 800+ MB of text to translate might be
a different story.  Though I would argue that if one had *that*
much text to translate, one would already be breaking it up into
smaller chunks anyway.

Anyway, any questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome.
