DragonFly 4.2.0 released

[Justin Sherrill]

"Someone" needs to put the time in to make it work - it's probably not
a lot, but more than I have.

You can simulate it pretty well with pkg after installation - really,
it's not too far from:

pkg install xorg fluxbox fvwm firefox xpdf zsh emacs vim irssi eterm
perl5 nano bash exctags zip sudo links-gui wge terminus-font rsync
asclock screen

I am totally oversimplifying it, of course, but there isn't really any
special magic in a GUI version that you can't immediately access with
a normal install - with a little knowledge on your side.
