As previously announced, retire these old warhorses due to security
problems that will never be fixed.
I almost feel like asking for a short moment of silence.

Mark FORBIDDEN: I have no doubt that many of the vulnerabilities that
have affected Mozilla and other browsers also affect these ancient
Netscape versions.

Use ${ECHO_CMD} instead of ${ECHO} where you mean the echo command; the ECHO
macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if make(1) is
invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to the echo command.
