 Let me note that I've been wondering about this as well.  It's
 rather hard to tell which problem you are attempting to solve, as
 far as NetBSD is concerned - hence some of the delay in responding.

 Absolutely:

 Those files aren't part of the implementation.
 
 With regard to the organization of the source tree, please have a
 look at hier(7).  Installing the OS, or at the very least extracting
 the comp set, should provide you with an impression more useful
 than looking at identifiers defined in seemingly arbitrarily chosen
 header files from the source tree.
 
 Also, while problem reports helping with the improvement of NetBSD
 are appreciated very much, please note that non-bug discussion
 would be more appropriate on tech-userlevel or tech-toolchain,
 rather than an obscure category of the bug database.
