- I had a quick look at the above, and it's libraries _plus_
- netscape.  It'd be nice if they had just the libraries as a
- separate rpm/tar/whatever...

	Yes, it would have been nice..

	But, I didn't let that stop me.. I went a head and
generated an emulators/osf1 package using that RPM as the basis.

	I've submitted the new package via send-pr, and put a
tarball of it up at ftp.cirr.com:/pub/NetBSD/pkgsrc/emulators-osf1.tgz.

	(hmm, should it be named emulators/osf1_compat instead?)
