Userland is upgraded to -p16, while the kernel is still -p3.


>Description:

** THIS IS A REPOST OF ports/57318 (doc-bug CLASS) WITH change-request CLASS,
	since I was suggested that ports/57318 is not a doc-bug class issue **

ports/archivers/lha/Makefile says 'Archive files using LZW compression',
but it is incorrect. LHa uses LZSS (a descendant of LZ77) and Huffman codings,
and never uses LZW which is patented by Unisys.
Calling it as 'LZW compression' WILL cause confusion among people,
so it should be corrected.

>How-To-Repeat:
Just make a Google search to confirm that LHa uses LZSS and Huffman codings,
not LZW.
