I'd be happy if they'd notice that -stable is now elf.  They didn't, did
they? (I'll check this at work, T1 there, 28.8K at home).  I know,
stable can still run a.out, but in the case of netscape, that means
pulling in libc, libm, libg++, libstdc++, and a lot of X libs that
wouldn't be used for anything else, and this is the only reason I haven't
upgraded to 3.2 on my home and office development machines, my play
machines are already running 3.1.
