Assign to maintainer.

I would guess (without looking at the port at all) that the flood configure script is looking for the old (pre 1.0) apr libs or executables.

The attached portfile diff updates flood and makes it see apr. But I don't know about the patches. I made the same changes as the previous patches but it fails to build with identical patches to the new files. So does that mean they aren't necessary now? I don't know. Please advise.

hey mark, please go ahead and commit your patch - and perhaps even take over the port! (don't make use of it currently)

Ok, I committed the fix. I'd rather not be maintainer since I don't know how to use it. If you'd like me to set the generic maintainer let me know.
