I got no other comments, so I've put up my work for ftp, URL:
ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/niklas/NH-ktrace-self-contained.gz
Please review and/or try it, and comment!

I'm also setting up a page with some descriptions of all my NetBSD
work and links to the FTP archive, it's at URL:
http://www.cd.chalmers.se/~nh/netbsd.html
For the moment it's not entirely updated, but it's a ground to start
from if you're curious of what local patches I use...
Some of them I *will* send-pr sometime soon...
