Similar to the lossage on the Linux side, netscape-3.0 works
on NetBSD but netscape-3.01 and netscape-3 do not; netscape-3 is a
dangling symlink (for all platforms!), and netscape-3.01 is a link to
netscape-4.05, which tries to run 3.x or 4.x, and fails because the
i386_nbsd1/MIT-only directory has netscape-3.01US but not
netscape-3.01.
Yuck.
cwis-dev: Is there a plan to clean this up? I can make
suggestions for the NetBSD stuff, and I'm sure the linux-dev folks
have ideas too, but I don't know how they would fit in any existing
Grand Scheme of Things.
