This is a bugfix-release. It should be compatible with bones files
and savegames all the way back to 3.4.0 (but of course it's safer
to ascend before upgrade).
Assorted fixes (full list in doc/fixes34.3):
* Correct several inconsistencies
* Correct a potentially fatal bug caused by dropping loadstones
* Handle level completely filled with monsters better
* X11 player selection fixes, one of which could be fatal
* Eliminated a gold-in-shop-container cheat
them have the correct permission bits set when using binary packages.
Thanks go to Damian Sweeney for noticing the problem and at least
grant, salo and wiz for beating me with a cluestick so that I could
fix it.

Old savegames and bones levels from nethack 3.4.1 (and 3.4.0) should
still work, but as usual, caution is advised.
This is a bugfix release, no new features introduced.
As a compensation for no new features, savegames and bones levels
from NetHack 3.4.0 should work, and that's why I kept the datafile
directory named nethackdir340. In theory you should be able to
simply update the nethack pkgs and continue playing, but I'll not
accept any death threats if it doesn't work, so please make sure
you make the appropriate backups before trying.
called nethackdir340). This is to ease the lives of people who wish to
have multiple versions nethack installed at the same time. It is not fully
automated, because doing pkgsrc magic will most likely screw things up
one funny way or another. And we all know that the most important thing
in this world is the nethack scorefile ...
Manually bump version to 3.4.0nb1.

Old savegames naturally don't work, so make sure you finish old ones
before upgrading the package.
Also fixes the rest of pkg/15717 by Bernd Ernesti. Solution was the same
as what Thomas Klausner used to fix angband (ie. simply duplicate the
patches)
manner - use the first word of the ${GZIP_CMD} definition from
bsd.pkg.mk, and substitute this value in the same manner that the
PREFIX is set. This is useful on systems other than NetBSD, where
gzip may not be installed in /usr/bin. Use a descriptive name for the
input of the pre-processed file.
Make sure that gcc is used when compiling on Solaris.
