Thanks.  I had forgotten about that discussion.

Two things that bothered me were that the version appears to be 
a pre-release, not the official Lua 5.3 release, and that the 
import is being done a very short time before the netbsd-7 branch 
is planned to be created.  What I see in the brief discussion in 
tech-kern is reassuring, so I have no objection to this update.

No, I mean using "cvs import" the way we usually do it.  I'll explain
in more detail in a private message.
