I also wonder why a.out support was removed from -current.

I think we don't need "a.out world" any more, but a.out support
(a.out lib/shared lib, etc.) is still needed.  Some commercial
programs such as Netscape are in a.out only, so we still have to
make a.out binaries.

Please see Netscape plugin port (ports/www/flashplugin) to find
out why we still have to need a.out support.

Thanks.
