yeah this is the openbsd ports system equivalent of me whacking it until 
it works

if you have a better way, i'd be open. i couldn't make it just fetch 
from the mozilla one. i wanted to make it just fetch from the openbsd 
one, but the liberwolf/ part of the string i couldn't change

i suppose i could just hardcode it some more. if you want to merge it, 
tell me otherwise yeah i can change it.

i'm currently working on another change, to add multi-language support. 
i think it'll work. it's currently building. i'll know if it works when 
it's compiled, and after that i have another change to test alongside it 
that will require me to rebase and build again

i'll submit it later when i gcet it working. the way languages work in 
mach is really stupid in my opinion. you have to build it separately and 
then package it manually, they don't just have an option for it in 
mozconfig like e.g. --languages=all

some stuff i said in other emails was wrong. librewolf does support 
translations perfectly, in the user interface. just need to compile the 
xpi files. i know on the firefox port you just use the xpd files already 
generated by the mozilla project, but in librewolf i have to build them 
from source
