I've been thinking... Can we make a binary package of old 2.2.8 a.out X
libs and put them somewhere and then make a port of them. That way they
will appear in a PLIST, we can depend on them, and we can remove some
complexity (and time) from the XFree86 build.
Also, I'm beginning to think that some of the instability in Netscape
4.7 is due to having newer libraries than were used for compiling.
If someone has libraries, I'll make a port.
Regards,
-Jeremy
