Subject: two new packages

So, I've got two packages I'd like to get into the tree. Whom do
I send them to for review? Currently, they exist in the following
location:
http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/soft/pty-redir-package.tgz
http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/soft/vpn-package.tgz
The VPN package relies on the pty-redir package and assumes it's
under misc. If this is incorrect, I'll assume someone will let me know.
I put vpn under security.
I also had a question... How difficult would it be to make the
package system smart enough to be able to find a dependancy that was
installed outside of the package system? It seems non-trivial seeing as
how the dependancies are referenced. In my example, I had ssh in
/usr/local/bin/ssh but the package didn't exist, so it didn't go. I use
kerberos5 with my ssh, and I don't believe that's how it builds out of
pkgsrc. I've had similar problems with things that use perl.
