Looks like my attempt to be concise ending up being too terse. :) I
have no software on my system that I cannot rebuild from sources. If I
were to acquire such software, I'd rather have to add the compat libs as
as port (and re-add the options flag to the kernel) then have them as
legacy libs hanging around after an upgrade.
That does give me an idea, however. I can probably use the contents of
the compat5 port to find out what libs are specific to that version.
Cheers,
