I have a place where things like that can live, but it should maybe be on 
ftp.netbsd.org as well. Before we go throwing ported software all over the 
place though I think that it would behoove us to come up with some form of
organization for it. 

I've looked a little bit at the FreeBSD ports methedology, and I think it's
pretty nifty. It does make it a bit of a pain to just "go get the source"
(ie. I wanted somethign from the FreeBSD ports collection because they
had it. I wanted to compile it under SunOS though and finding the source
for it was a bit wierd.) Let's see if we can sketch something out on
how to organize it and I can put it up on our ftp server here (ftp.digex.net)
once we figure it out. I should also have a LOT more disk space on that 
machine to play with soon.....
