  If you haven't already, I've just about finished a port for this (it is
pretty nifty). The only problem I have currently is that I have to fetch 2
files for the port (the file listed above, as well as
http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/vroot.h). Without making a separate
port just for vroot.h, if there a way to have the port fetch 2 files? Should
I just list it using PATCH_SITES/PATCHFILES even though it isn't really a
patch? Other than that I have to write a few patches of my own (the netscape
source segfaults if no command is given and apparently presumes netscape
1.1). If I can find out the answer to fetching the 2 files, I'll send-pr the
port right away.

  Thanks,

  Kelly
