 And genassym, and something else I don't remember...  Or you can just
 use the (now) rather canonical way of building the NetBSD source tree,
 the build.sh script.
 
 BTW, just downloading sys.tar.gz is not enough, you'll need usr.bin for
 config and genassym, common.tar.gz, and top-level.tar.gz.
 
 And read the documentation.
