>Description:
	kcminfo doesn't print any sensible information on NetBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
	kcminfo
	watch it print message like "No information available or
		your system is not supported"
>Fix:
	I had this set of patches lying around for awhile, but got
	to hd cleanup as part of my migration to ELF :)
	Anyway, with this patch, memory usage, processor type,
	IRQ list, sound device info, devices info, SCSI,
	mount filesystem info & Xserver info is available.
	The code uses /var/run/dmesg with fallback to /sbin/dmesg
	if the former is not available. Crude, but works.
	One of *.po files is patched; the appropriate patch should
	either not used (it's patch-ap, changes po/cs/kcminfo.po),
	or msgfmt from gettext package has to be available.

	I'm sending the patches to maintainer shortly.

	The patches are available at
	http://www.ics.muni.cz/~dolecek/NetBSD/kdebase-1.1.1-kcminfo_patches.tgz
