--- Comment #13 from dereks at lifeofadishwasher.com ---
I believe keeping the 0.9 would be a good idea only because it's 0.9 currently
however it's a non-tagged development version.  It's possible that a new tag
(0.10) could be created on the git repo and then in turn you could remove the
GIT_TAGNAME ex:

PORTNAME= urlview
PORTVERSION= 0.10
...
USE_GITHUB= yes
GH_ACCOUNT= sigpipe
...


Removing that patch might be fine I don't know the history behind the reason
for the change.  Could be old/historic to reference 'netscape' (I believe this
would be from ~97-2000 time frame) and since post-patch removes all references
to url_handler.sh with 'firefox'

Might be a good patch for upstream (if it will ever get applied).
