Sorry, I should have said, I did check whois, and I did try that
address and got an MTA reply back that that mailbox is full (so prolly
unattended).

Thanks for that.  My noticing that ports.su (hitherto my go-to) was
actually pretty outdated was precisely the reason why I wanted to
contact the site maintainer.
If nobody else has working contact details for Constantine, then I'll
probably leave it.

I didn't actually know about openports.pl, or dancer.  Thank you very much. :)

(It bothers me a tiny amount that these sites call themselves ports
readmes, which IMHO overloads the term "readme".  OTOH, "Ports Readme"
!= README, so eh...)

Thanks and regards,
Ian
