New port: Ficl is a programming language interpreter designed to be
embedded into other systems as a command, macro, and development prototyping language. FreeBSD uses ficl in its loader. So far we haven't done much more in this area, perhaps importing a port will encourage further fruitful exploitation of this valuable tool.

+FICL is an extremely lightweight, fast, portable implementation of FORTH
+which can be bound to C functions or even embedded within C/assembler
+programs. This is a port for the current version of FICL. Older versions
+can typically be found in /usr/src/sys/boot/ficl on FreeBSD with the
+bindings needed by the OS loader.
