I wrote to the author of net/plb concerning its recent breakage due to
the upgrade of devel/libevent.  His reply is attached.

net/plb has no MAINTAINER, is no longer maintained upstream, and is
broken.  I believe this port should be removed.

Mr. Denis suggests www/nginx or net/relayd as a replacement.  I
think that net/relayd is closer in function to net/plb, as www/nginx
is primarily a web server.

  Hello,

  Ouch no, PLB hasn't been maintained for years as it has become totally 
useless with projects like Nginx and Relayd.

  I'm not even sure that it ever worked on FreeBSD (beyond the compilation 
stage).

  So, please consider an alternative :)

  Best regards,

    -Frank.
