Roell's XView 2.0 port ?!

  I had the original XView 2.0 source on my machine. It was put out
by Sun last year and lots of codes are very difficult to compile on the
SysV.( Sun has been doing a great job not to give out any patches 
before the next release. :))  I was really excited when I heard that a
SysV *port* of XView 2.0 is  available by Thomas Roell.
  I grab the source from 131.159.8.35 ~ftp/pub/xview.tar.Z.(The 
address specified by people on the net). After diffing the original
XView 2.0 library source with the Roell's *port*, I feel like being hit
by a baseball bat !
  The one I grab from ftp site is TOTALLY identical to the original
one put out by Sun on expo ! Am I missing something?(I hope) This 
couldn't be possible for a *PORT*! 
  I have to ask again: Am I missing something ? 
  Any idea will be appreciated !
