2002-05-12 01:13Trevor Johnson (trevor) · 1.0.1

Make links for i18n (cribbed from blackbox port).  For some reason, i18n is broken in this port, but this brings it closer to being correct.

Update from 0.61.0 to 0.61.1, submitted by maintainer.  To account for files left behind after "make deinstall" I also added a MAN1 line and added the Cthulhain style file, which is new in this version, to pkg-plist.  I fixed a stray space found by portlint -t.
