I don't wish to support tracking the functions implemented in -current
but not in 2.0, which is a moving target as we continue toward NetBSD
3.0.  When 3.0 is branched, I'll check the API presented by NetBSD
and make the appropriate additions to the Perl hints/netbsd.sh file,
but until then, we'll continue to pretend -current is basically 2.0.
