Hi Beat, thanks again for all your hard work on this.

After updating my ports tree (as of Mon Aug 9 22:45:40 EDT 2010, # 
$FreeBSD: ports/deskutils/lightning-thunderbird/Makefile,v 1.35 
2010/08/08 10:34:32 beat Exp $

Running pkg_delete thunderbird-3.1.1 and a portinstall 
deskutils/lightning-thunderbird, I have no calender.
cat pkg_message shows:
In order to activate the Lightning extension, every user should install the
XPI file into his own profile via the menu:
Tools -> Add-ons -> Install (for Thunderbird)
Yet find . -type f -name \*.xpi doesn't show it, [1] and pkg_info |grep 
-i thunder, pkg_info |grep -i lightn only show thunderbird-3.1.2.

What am I doing wrong or missing here? I'm pretty sure it's a classic 
case of PEBKAC.
