That's interesting.  I used sup to update my source and there are several
pkgsrc folders that have been updated in addition to htdig.  Seems zlib,
lha, openssh, and a couple others have been updated.  Now if only the curl
pkgsrc would be updated to 7.9.5 (with the same compile settings as the
current one (OpenSSL and ipv6 enabled)).  ;)

I guess I have some compiling ahead of me.

Thanks for pointing out that there are new pkgsrces.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
