When running 'make lib-depends-check', 'WANTLIB+= c pthread' is
requested, though the port works without it. Apologies for missing this.

For clarity, this port 'ticker' provides textual price data for stocks
and holdings, and is written in Go.

In contrast, 'tickrs', in Rust, graphs the data in a TUI. They are kind
of a pair if following the performance (or otherwise) of investments,
exchange rates or savings is of interest.
