I started setting up such a list but haven't filled it in. NetBSD
has an issue that the others don't have, the multi-platform aspect.
I have set up a database to track packages and where they are ported.
I set up a web page which I expected Phil Nelson to point to according
to email we had. Perhaps he expected me to have a full page first
but I was hoping to put up the page and get input from others.
The page I have so far is at http://www.druid.net/darcy/netbsd/packages.html.
You can see the database definitions by looking at the db.df file at
http://www.druid.net/darcy/netbsd/db.df.
If people start sending me information, I'll start filling in the database.
Comments on the methodology welcome too.
