I'd like to get copies too. Actually, it would be great if you could
put the patches together, and then put them on puma (ftp.macbsd.com).

Since NetBSD tries hard to support non-current hardware, and x86
machines are cheep, I think there will be a lot of interest in getting
cross-compiling to work.

I think a goal is to eventually get it in the source. :-) This might
be a good first step.

Take care,
