My first port, be gentle.

This is GNU netcat, which exists since the original nc is no longer
being maintained, I guess.

I sort of created this without realizing nc was already in /usr/bin.

Anyhow, it's GNU, but I have no idea how to set PERMIT_* --- the
porting checklist gives no guidance, and I'm certainly not a lawyer. Perhaps some sort of advice would be useful here? Even if it's just
"GPL means PERMIT_DISTFILES_* are Yes, but PERMIT_PACKAGE_* are set to
GPL".

When I did a lib-depends-check, I got:
Missing system lib: c.38 (/usr/local/bin/netcat)

Also, I think it may depend on libiconv, but I'm not sure.  In any
case, this worked for me, please let me know your results if you have
time to try it.
