The version in ports only work with Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey 2.0.
Lightning 1.0b2 which is currently not in the portstree works with
Thunderbird 3.1 but not with Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey.

You will find this version of Lightning in our development repository:
# svn co
https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/freebsd-gecko/branches/experimental/deskutils/lightning

As this is not the first request about Lightning for Thunderbird 3.1 I
will ask for a repo copy deskutils/lightning ->
deskutils/lightning-thunderbird and commit this version to the new port.
