I checked on the site and it exists in the listing, so I assume that it is something which was introduced in version 4.2. The machine no longer has access to the internet via a fast network connection (now it just has a 28,8k modem), so downloading the latest ports distribution is not a viable option just for one program. Is it possible for someone with 4.2 to tar this directory, then for me to untar it and for it to work without problems?
