Well, that package was a netscape 4.73 package --> quite old, not much
has happened to it lately. My goal for this action was to synch the
package with the x86 version, to make it easier to maintain in the
future. But, yes, I did take a lot of things from the old package -->
the stuff that helps with the name change ("netscape-alpha" instead of
"netscape") and other stuff that makes netscape-alpha different from
netscape.
