The Package of the Month award goes to:  pkgsrc/emulators/simh,
nominated by Jason Thorpe.  simh can emulate the following machines: 
altair, altairz80, eclipse, gri, h316, hp2100, i1401, i1620, ibm1130,
id16, id32, nova, pdp1, pdp4, pdp7, pdp8, pdp9, pdp10, pdp11, pdp15,
s3, sds, vax.  A useful package if you're fed up, like Jason, of
carrying two Microvax 3800s around with you, since he now has two
NetBSD/vax installations on his laptop, as simh-vax supports Ethernet. 

It strikes me that we should be working out the simulation size
ratios (i.e. size of simulated host to real host), and as I now have
simh running on my Jornada, I'm feeling confident.  Now for hermes...
