Yeah, great to hear. I've committed the fixes:

For HEAD, the changes will appear on the next releng servers'
checkout at 20090107000[02]Z, so snapshot will be prepared in ~30 hours
after that, unless there are other build breakages at that time.
(See summary in http://releng.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/builds.cgi)

I'll send pullup requests for netbsd-4 and netbsd-5 tomorrow
(after minimum sanity checks). Snapshot on releng will refrect it
after the release engineering team handle them, so it will
take 3~7 days? (depends on releng's load)

Our build script will handle it properly ;-)

AFAIK there isn't an official schedule (yet?), but IMO 5.0 will
still take more than a month since it's still in _BETA, not _RC.

No idea about 4.1.

Yeah, it's greatly appreciated :-)
