Well, that @sample thing has been explained to you, so just let me
note that you should search the archives for (failed and/or abandoned)
attempts of INN ports. This may help you to avoid some pitfalls,
for example too much nitpicking on what installs where (my first
attempt was a complete desaster because I tried to sprinkle INN
stuff all over ${LOCALBASE}/{{,s}bin,include/inn,lib{,exec}} instead
of using INN's hierarchy in ${LOCALBASE}/inn).

Classic problem (in pkg/PLIST): include/config.h This will cause
strange errors when building other ports. Try it, and/or search the
archives. One more reason to go put INN into its own hierarchy, at
least for a start.
