The Linux one will be fun.  I'm so _not_ volunteering :)

As for the principle of it, we can include it in pkg_info(1), just
like the dewey processor.

As for the NetBSD case, the problem is that we're using the kernel
version number for too many things.  (And doesn't pkg_add ignore
the _WHATEVER part now?)  While using the ABI changes to version
-current makes sense, it doesn't map well to the 2.0.1 -> 2.0.2
move.

[Moving to tech-pkg.  There's no reason to keep this private.]
