Hi,

thanks. Didn't mean to post and run, but have limited access to my
NetBSD machine at the moment.

Good idea.

Ah, ok. I'll see if there is anyway I can keep the existing Makefile
behaviour. It might not actually be possible thanks to upstream
changes, but I will try to actually verify that.

I assessed it very "lightly", but didn't mention that. I will try to
do a proper verification and either include that verification in a
reply here or in a WIP package if I move there.

Ideally I would like to get Helix updated properly as I use Pkgsrc
binaries on NetBSD and macOS. I do have limited access to my NetBSD
machine at the moment though so it could be weeks until I make any
further updates on this.
