Do you mean a more up to date version of Pico?  Pico is currently at
version 3.7 and probably is still at 3.7 even in Pine 4.31.  Updating Pine
won't provide a pico-only port or offer a newer version of Pico.  When Pine
4.31 is committed, I'll determine if Pico is newer or has different patches
and then submit an update for it. 

An argument could be made for using Pine's PORTVERSION, but I saw no 
immediate benefit.

Thankyou.  I think a pico-only port is warranted.
