Cool. :-)  From my perspective I would just like to see something
readily available.  Quite frequently I see posts about trying to
build a VAX kernel from Linux, or an XYZ kernel from ABC.  I have
a friend working at a local company that uses vxworks, etc and they
pretty much will only use a Windows or OpenVMS machine.  So that
got me thinking about Windows->NetBSD targeting.  I would like to
see NetBSD as an option for some of these places.
