I'd still like to see it available somewhere, for the benefit of pkg_comp
users at last. For example, right now the 2.1/i386 and /sparc binary
in pub/pkgsrc/ are built in a chroot on a box running netbsd-3 kernels
(for various reasons, I can't use netbsd-2 kernels on these boxes).
I may have to do the same in the future to build 3.x and 4.x binary
packages.
