ah ok i didn't realize that, i was operating on the incorrect assumption 
that it'd be suitable for inclusion based on the fact that its in the 
free and open bsd ports tree's.  i'll probably just keep a local fork of 
the pkgsrc tree for now and build updated versions so i can use it in my 
localenv.

the downside i guess is that it'll probably not make it feasible for 
popular providers like AWS to natively support netbsd.
