In this case I don't agree; this smacks of Not Invented Here syndrome.

I don't know the origins of fstat(8), but lsof is a more mature program,
it provides more useful information than fstat(8), and it is ported to a wide 
variety of O/S platforms.

Anyway, the answer is moot because thanks to pk, lsof 3.21 now fully supports
NetBSD 1.0 and 1.0A/-current.  It's available from

	ftp://vic.CC.Purdue.EDU/pub/tools/unix/lsof/lsof_3.21_W.tar.{gz,Z}

I think there are pre-built binaries for -current (i386 and SPARC, at least)
alongside (in .../lsof/binaries/netbsd) as well.
