To be more specific, some people have express some concern about the lack of
support for traditional cpp in base, that's why I'm proposing this, now
personnaly I don't care if tradcpp remains in ports (for imake, imake is no=
t a
matter of fixing imake, but rather all the users of imake).
If we think it is not worth having a traditional cpp, I won't import it.
cpp has not be design at first for this kind of usage, but someone of our
vendors rely on a traditional cpp anyway.
Just it exists, it is rather small, it is BSDL and actively maintainer, so =
:)
concerning calendar(1) another approach is available here: bin/178463
