 Update: I have fairly small patches that let me compile it on NetBSD.
 I have no idea though if the results are likely to work (as opposed to
 issuing reams of invalid ioctls with made-up ioctl numbers, as
 defining one's own ioctl numbers and assuming they'll work is common
 practice in the Linux world) and I have no way to test it.
 
 Do we have anyone who can test this package?
