This should positioned as a replacement for the old mozilla suite (www/mozilla) with a -devel subpackage and updates to www/galeon and www/epiphany to use it. My next update to eclipse will be able to use seamonkey to build, so there's no need to update that. Actually I'm planning on adding a firefox -devel package at some point and switching eclipse over to use that instead. If you update your diff to include a -devel subpackage and create diffs for galeon and ephiphay to use it, I think this would be a worthwhile addition to the ports tree. -Kurt
