This original netscape code base has a legacy of re branding! Most
times your here about a product called' X' and someone starts a new
code base called Open 'X', yet this code base seems to endure. It is a
story to tell your grand children netscape->aol->iplanet->sun
directory server->RedHat->Fedora with forks and branches and
documentation. It seems that just as the documentation and the
variable names are catching up the name changes. :)

389 FTW!
