I added a netbsd template (that little box at the bottom of the page)
and also started articles on ATF and netpgp.  If you can think of any
other netbsd software (not the operating system, pkgsrc, atf, or
netpgp) go ahead and add it to the template and setup the article.

I also think larger subsystems are appropriate (Veriexec has its own
article, for example).
