I have implemented support for the old API enabled with COMPAT_40
(well, not fully; only ENVSYS_GTREDATA and ENVSYS_GTREINFO ioctls are
implemented), but that's enough to make old envstat and apps from pkgsrc to
work correctly (gkrellm).

I have rewritten new envstat from scratch (still not finished):

http://www.netbsd.org/~xtraeme/envstat.c

And

http://www.netbsd.org/~xtraeme/sysmon_envsys.c
http://www.netbsd.org/~xtraeme/envsys.h
http://www.netbsd.org/~xtraeme/sysmonvar.h

Still more work to do, because I have plans to port sensorsd from OpenBSD,
and finish the ENVSYS_SETDICTIONARY ioctl (to change rfact/rpms/desc in
the drivers via envstat on the fly).

No more problems with API/ABI right now :-)
