Actually there is one pr open on licq-0.61 already (9086). I was about
to commit it, but ran into some problems building it on the 1.4 branch.
(some weird c++ stuff, unfortunately my c++ skills are more like c--)

I've put the current version up at
http://www.iki.fi/pooka/NetBSD/licq-pkg.tar.gz. If someone can verify
that it builds on the 1.4-branch, I'll commit it later today.

The problem with mkdir exists because mkdir(2) doesn't like paths that
end in a '/', dunno about the problem with files being left open.
