I see.  IMHO it's better to pre-compile libxpg4-ns like XFree86-aoutlibs.
The steps in libxpg4-ns/files/message.nolib may be too annoying to normal
users.

I think it's a great solution.  It won't break any {cjk}-netscape and
non-cjk ones.  But repo-copy may be needed, since linux-netscape is dummy
after the change.  The same may also apply to a.out netscape, to avoid
XFree86-aoutlibs conflicts.

May I propose the real port's name being *-netscape-core? :-)
