If I could maybe suggest that we either collect common sets of patches on
ftp.netbsd.org and/or puma, or we throw them in the tree wrapped in
#ifdef OPTION_WHATEVER. I understand Scott's concern that a lot of this
stuff can be on the harry edge, and might break people's machines. By
using #ifdef's a lot, we can do a poor-man's CVS branch trick; you only
use the new code if you ask for it.

Take care,
