Good progress. It is probably better to mimick the original NetBSD tree
structure in userland and commit your changes on top of a baseline that
comes unmodified from NetBSD so that you can produce a diff that directly
applies to the NetBSD tree. You also need to write unit-tests for userland :-)

Best,
