Hi ports --

Attached is a new port, math/pspp. PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data.

---
pkg/DESCR:
GNU PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It is a
free as in freedom replacement for the proprietary program SPSS, and
appears very similar to it with a few exceptions.

The most important of these exceptions are, that there are no "time
bombs"; your copy of PSPP will not "expire" or deliberately stop working
in the future. Neither are there any artificial limits on the number of
cases or variables which you can use. There are no additional packages
to purchase in order to get "advanced" functions; all functionality that
PSPP currently supports is in the core package.

PSPP is a stable and reliable application. It can perform descriptive
statistics, T-tests, anova, linear and logistic regression, measures of
association, cluster analysis, reliability and factor analysis,
non-parametric tests and more. Its backend is designed to perform its
analyses as fast as possible, regardless of the size of the input data.
You can use PSPP with its graphical interface or the more traditional
syntax commands.

Included as well is a small dependency, math/spread-sheet-widget, a simple spread sheet widget library.

---
pkg/DESCR:
GNU Spread Sheet Widget is a library for Gtk+ which provides a widget
for viewing and manipulating 2 dimensional tabular data in a manner
similar to many popular spread sheet programs.

The design follows the model-view-controller paradigm and is of
complexity O(1) in both time and space. This means that it is efficient
and fast even for very large data.

Features commonly found in graphical user interfaces such as cut and
paste, drag and drop and row/column labelling are also included.

I've disabled the Perl module for PSPP for now. Something about the build process is broken regarding it. I also admit to not really knowing how PSPP works but I have to learn it soon so if someone out there does know how this works, let me know how it goes for you. The vast majority of tests pass, so that leads me to believe it is working correctly.

For ease of (visual) testing, the GUI version is called psppire.

OK?
