Since the ymessenger port already comes with old libs*, then why not just
package a complete `compat layer' in the port?

FWIW, I recently switched from ymessenger to Gaim due to depleted patience
with the inherent borkage of ymessenger.


* libgtkhtml.so.21, to compensate for the fact that Yahoo! can't be
bothered to maintain an up-to-date working client for anyone who isn't
running MSware or MacOS [or provide sources so we can have a proper port].
Isn't Yahoo! supposed to like FreeBSD?
