That's 1.6 stuff.  No need for that any more.

I should also point out that if you expected to recompile everything and
its mother to add a sysctl node, it wouldn't have qualified as dynamic :)

Again, 1.6 stuff.

I'm not even sure it has ever been NetBSD stuff.  Are you sure you're not
reading FreeBSD documentation?

NetBSD 2.0 manual pages are documented enough.  sysctl(9) for the kernel
part, sysctl(3) and sysctl(8) for the userland.  And there are plenty of
examples in the source tree (look for SYSCTL_SETUP).
