horde, icewm, ipcalc, ipv6calc, irssi, iskmpd, jhead, jikes, jwhois,
libexif, libpcap, libusb, mew, mozilla, mpg123, ntp4, openldap,
openoffice, openssh, opera6, various perl utilities, various php

packages, tcpdump, tightvnc, ucd-snmp, unzip, uvscan-dat, verilog,
vim, webalizer, xmame, xpaint, xpdf, xscreensaver and xwrits.

The Package of the Month award is split, and goes to (a)
misc/bidwatcher, nominated by Martin Husemann:

"If you ever buy something from eBay, this is the tool to use.  It has
a nice GUI, all the functionality I need and it just works.  Using
snipes to get important geek goods for cheap money in the last few
seconds before the auction closes saves you money - unless this turns
out to be an obsession and you buy more goods than you need :-/"

and to (b) devel/ddd, nominated by Sean Davis:

"I've been trying to track down a bug in the tl driver, and would
never have gotten as close as I am right now without it."
