Why cdialog and not libdialog in the message?

That's the real name of the software package from which we got libdialog and the dialog utility.

As far as I can tell Thomas E. Dickey just calls it dialog. cdialog appears in the "Early History" section in https://invisible-island.net/dialog/#history_details, in our ports tree, and in some tooling in the package to support renaming.

Ah, from the readme,

-(1999-12-25)-------------------------------------------------------------------
This version of dialog, formerly known as cdialog is based on the Debian
package for dialog 0.9a (see CHANGES for recent modifications)

The port is still called cdialog.

Ok, but we're removing it from the base system, not the port.

I also don't think anyone would know what "cdialog" is, but we all know what dialog is. Do we want to move dpv and friends to ports first? Maybe Cy can create new git repos for dpv + libdpv + libfigpar and a port to install them?

I'm waiting to hear back from @dteske before I do anything.
