Dear ports@,

Attached please find a new port for the Tilde text editor. Tilde is an
easy-to-use TUI text editor in the style of the MS-DOS interactive
editors popular in the 1980s-1990s.

Please note wsmoused on OpenBSD is not supported. However, mouse
events sent through a terminal emulator are.

This is my first port so apologies if it's not perfect.

I cannot support this as maintainer but am sharing here so more people
have access to this awesome tool.

Description (from the website):
------------
Tilde is a text editor for the console/terminal, which provides an
intuitive interface for people accustomed to GUI environments such as
Gnome, KDE and Windows. For example, the short-cut to copy the current
selection is Control-C, and to paste the previously copied text the
short-cut Control-V can be used. As another example, the File menu can be
accessed by pressing Meta-F. 

Regards
Lloyd
