 O. k. So let's put it in "german".
 
 As soon as I've some time--after cleanly closing the xview-lib PR--
 I'll try the portlint package on spinne and put the new port back
 on ftp.ba-stuttgart.de. (I don't want to fill up the ftp.FreeBSD.org
 disks with zillions of spinne-versions)

 Agreed, but not spinne since its docs are in german only, it should go
 to the german collection.
