Hmm, why are we using

        LOWER_OS_VERSION=        ${_LOWER_OS_VERSION_CMD:sh}

instead of

        LOWER_OS_VERSION=        ${OS_VERSION:tl}

?

I see the comment in the CVS commit log for pkgsrc/mk/bsd.prefs.mk
revision 1.101, but I think we should expect people to use
pkgsrc/bootstrap (which will build a new bmake) if they have outdated
versions of NetBSD.
