Well, it still is a fact that xsrc doesn't come with XF86Setup for the 
names reason (lack of tcl/tk in tree). BEsides that, XF86Setup - as the 
name says - is rather i386 specific, and to make it useful on about all 
NetBSD platforms, quite some work would be necessary.

Looking at the progress in sysdiff, I'm guessing that this will still 
take some time until we can approach XFsetup.

Until now, it's better to have this pkg than to have nothing at all.
