Wow!  That's cool!

Is TNF interested in using that?  Or would TNF be interested in doing
something similar to enable this workflow of using the exact same setup
as TNF, using TNF binary packages for dependencies, and building just
private (or pkgsrc-wip) packages?

Does Joyent plan to add support to pkgbuild for the amd64 port of
NetBSD?  If not, would Joyent be open to accepting a pull request that
adds support for it?

Thanks!
