When I installed FreeBSD,I installed the port for Lynx 2-4-2,which has a
patches-aa file attached that dates to September 1995.

Early this month,Lynx 2.5 was released,and after some bug encounters I
would like to upgrade my Lynx installation.(The CHANGES file lists 45 screens
full of changes since 9/95!)

Just what is necessary...does there need to be a whole new port?A downloading
of the whole Ports Collection to get it?Or just a fresh patch and a download
into /usr/ports/distfiles and use of the Makefile?

Or what??
