The package of the month award goes to rdesktop (pkgsrc/net/rdesktop),
nominated by Andrew Brown and Ross Harvey.  Rdesktop is a
"dependency-free" utility to manage a session on a Windows box in an X
window.  I use it from NetBSD to work on an XP workstation, and it has
made my life much easier - one of these packages of which you think
"what did I do before I found out about this?".
