	3.2-RELEASE or later

>Description:

	Since netscape uses dynamic link for its later product, and
the FreeBSD versions are compiled under 2.2.X-RELEASE platform, the
newer netscape will not run under 3.x or later (ELF kernel). So, we need
ability to run these a.out software under 3.x or later till the vendor
generates the ELF versions of softwares.
