Noted, sorry about that...

I'm halfway reluctant to just add another line (with $Id$) following
the $NetBSD$, because then line numbers on diff's will be off
(also, it will mean I cannot just strip out the RCS part of the diff
and have everything be the same), yet I'm also reluctant to forgo
version control within my own source tree... 

Am I missing a clear solution here?

Thanx.
