I really should turn it > into a port... 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.
