 Something that I am working on requires the mpeg4ip port.  Not the
 library, but rather the command line tools that are installed with it e.g.
 mp4creator.  Unfortunately, libmp4v2 does not come with this tool and as
 such, cannot actually obsolete mpeg4ip as has been suggested in the
 discussion that resulted in mpeg4ip's removal.

 I have put the priority at high as this port was clearly removed on
 fallacious grounds (i.e. just because nothing else depends on it in the
 tree, doesn't mean it isn't used) and its removal broke my work (not
 currently in MacPorts, but hopefully I'll submit soon).  The diff to the
 removed port can be found here:

 http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13879

 Which corrects the duplicate mp4.h file being installed by other port(s)
 as well.

 My users are some of your users, and they've already complained about
 this.  Please, reinstate this port.
