It may seem that way, but this is the development version of FOX
(1.7.x). The API is unstable and each new version is not guaranteed
(and unlikely) to be ABI compatible with the previous version. In
fact, if you run an application built against a previous version of
FOX-1.7 with a newer version installed, you will get an error like:
"FOX Header (v1.7.58) / Library (v1.7.59) mismatch!" and the
application will not start. So, unfortunately, consumer ports need
PORTREVISION bumps after *every* new release. I should probably put a
note about it in the fox17 Makefile.
