 Hi Thomas,

 I asked upstream on the Elinks user list since this list has more 
 activity than the dev list (neither are very active lists). I also 
 asked on the Elinks IRC channel. I've not had any response.
 
 However, I've looked into the releases a bit more and I think I may 
 have been wrong in my initial assumptions. I now think 0.12pre6 is 
 actually the latest unstable release and the reason why there hasn't 
 been a tagged 0.13 release is because it is still being developed 
 against this version. And therefore the elinks-current-0.13 releases 
 really are snapshots of the Git tree.
 
 In which case this PR is void.
 
 But then I have another question: Could I then take over maintenance 
 of the pkgsrc/wip/elinks-snapshot package, rather than create a new 
 package, and update that to the 0.13 version? By the looks of it, 
 Blair Sadewitz created it in 2007 to use the 0.12pre6 version because 
 pkgsrc/www/elinks was on 0.11.3. As it stands now this package is 
 redundant.
