I am happy to generate patches for the package to incorporate them and
bump the version to 2.0.0.20.



Firefox 2.0.0.20 has been released but fixes a Windows-only issue (actually,
adds a fix already present in 2.0.0.19 but missing in the Windows binaries).

That is understood. Would you prefer the pkgsrc firefox stay at 2.0.0.19 plus the above patches? I just assumed that going to 2.0.0.20 would produce less questions. Either way it would be nb1, right?
