There was talk on this list a month ago about possible development of 
a GUI version of fplan.  So it isn't completely dead, maybe.  The 
current version still works as good as it ever did, so I think it 
makes sense to keep making packages for it.  I created a package for 
OS X, using the fink packaging system.

Thanks for point out FlyWay.  I've started working on an OS X package for it.
