see previosu email i just sent. yes, i'm going to overhaul this port 
again, doing away with mozconfig so that the behaviour can match the ff 
port more closely.

librewolf already applies nearly the same build flags as openbsd's ff 
port, it's uncanny, it's almost as if they were inspired by openbsd.

with the new version i have planned (i hope to have time this weekend), 
it may then later become feasible, to consolidate both the ff and 
librewolf ports, so that the are both virtually identical, such that 
most logic can be moved to a further module, e.g. www/mozilla-browser 
(which in turn uses www/mozilla). and then firefox and librewolf would 
both be very small rumps of config against a larger whole.

what do you think of that idea? i could do that if you wish, but i want 
your input first. if you approve of this, i can totally marry librewolf 
and firefox in the ports tree. marry them in the most unholy and 
openbsd-certified way. let me know.
