Let me rephrase "all versions of NetBSD".  I meant to say "all release
versions of NetBSD".  As long as "NetBSD" gets changed, that is fine.
Right now, I have modified XFree86 to check for "NetBSD > 1993070".
If anyone has a better way of doing this, I'd like to hear it.

The only complication is the problem of whether -ll should be included
for programs using lex.  Since Makefiles don't have access to param.h,
it would be nice if a bmake variable contained the value in "NetBSD".

With X, at least I was able to hack this into imake, but for other
programs a bmake variable would be very convenient.
