[kde-freebsd] Should graphics/pixieplus still exist?

Hello!
The port promises experimental features, that are "not yet" available in the
base KDE distribution.
That's according to the upstream web-site:
http://www.mosfet.org/pixie/
However, the most recent version (Pixie-1.02a) on the site is from April 2004.
The version (0.5.4.1) built by the port is a little bit newer:
http://people.fruitsalad.org/avleeuwen/distfiles/pixieplus/
-- February 2005...
The port no longer builds due to the ever-changing ImageMagick API (the
cvs-log is full of fixes due to this moving target -- using GraphicsMagick
instead is strongly encouraged, whenever possible, BTW).
It can be fixed again, but is it worth the trouble? Are the features offered
by pixieplus /still/ not available by the KDE itself, or should the port just
be retired? Maybe, there is a new version somewhere?
Please, advise -- I'd like to resolve this one way or the other before the
currently-prepared OS-releases are cut.
Thanks!
