>Description:
This patch contains a few minor style nits to make the later FAQ
entries consistent with previous entries.  Also fixed broken URL
for 4.0-current ports and mentioned wher 3.0-stable ports can be
found.  Also added entry about what to do when a new port won't
compile under -stable.

+      <p> If you're running a release version that lags significantly

+      from <url url="http://www.freebsd.org/ports"
+      name="http://www.freebsd.org/ports">.  If you are up to date,
+      then, someone running only on a -current box might have
+      committed a change to the port which broke it with 3.x.  Please
+      submit a bug report on this with send-pr since the -current
+      ports collection is supposed to work with both the -current and
+      -stable branches.

State-Changed-When: Mon Jul 12 08:00:37 PDT 1999 
State-Changed-Why:  
Committed with a few changes: 
* You introduced trailing whitespace in hunk 1. 
* Rather than removing 4.0-current, fix it and add 3.x.  
* Rather than removing </sect> tags, add them (it's bad style 
to ommit them, so why follow the bad style of the preceding 
entries?). 
* Improved (I think) the wording of your new entry. 
Thanks!
