`Fotemods' is not a version, and while most people reading this advisory
would know what to do, the wording does seem a bit misleading to me, ie,
fotemods is a set of replacement files while the development code is patched.
I'm certainly no wiz at English, but something to the effect: "break out
(unzip -u) fotemods.zip over the standard distribution lynx2-7-1", might
be less ambiguous. More important is to not treat them together in the same
sentence since their formats are different.
Also `autoconfigure' is not spelled out on the given URL, only `ac-0.30'.
Wasn't there a spark plug by that name? FWIW
