I've seen only a 1.3.1_1. I would be disappointed to see a 1.5.2.1, because I've looked carefully before investing my weekend in this port. I don't know if I'm willing to make an "official" port. As I pointed out in my previous message that patch corrects bugs present even in the Linux version. The author has been informed and I expect him to come up with a new release soon (possibly including the FreeBSD port). A port from that relese will be much smaller and cleaner. In the meanwhile I'll try to decipher the ports jargon. Maybe, making a real FreeBSD port, is easier than it sounds. BTW, the infamous CSS seems to work somehow. It's slowing the program to an unusable level but it seems to be doing something. I have the impression it's formally correct but not well integrated with the rest of the code.
