This port is working for me...

Maybe we can include it? last release seems to be from around a year ago, I
think I can take care
of 1-2 updates per year... Your comments in the modules.inc file seems to
make it easier...

I'm planning to deploy mtail broadly... unless other openbsd users know of
a similar tool that is easier
to port. For the task of read logs -> export prometheus metrics.
