Thanks for working on this. A couple things have been found to note (mostly
about coding style):

* The web site says that
  "See the README.NetBSD file for building and usage instructions"
  but I can't find a file of such a name. Do I miss something?

* Lots of commit logs say that
  "Adjusted indentation according to the NetBSD coding standard"
  but many of them were done incorrectly indeed. For example:

  -add_wchstr(const cchar_t *wchstr)
  +add_wchstr(const cchar_t * wchstr)

  And there are unnecessary whitespaces: 

  #endif				/* HAVE_WCHAR */

  This should be changed to

  #endif /* HAVE_WCHAR */

  See src/share/misc/style for the NetBSD coding style.

* In many places assignment operator = is used within if () statement as
  follows:

  	if (np = lp->nsp) {

  IIRC, this will cause gcc to issue a warning or an error on compilation,
  and is generally not a good way of coding since it may hide subtle bugs.

* Some code are somewhat unreadable, IMHO:

+						if ( !( tnp = ( nschar_t *)malloc( sizeof( nschar_t ))))
+							return ERR;

  Too deep indent level, unnecessary whitespaces around ( and ),
  unnecessary casting such as (nschar_t *), comparison by !, etc.

  The above code can be written as follows (ignoring indent level):

  ...	tnp = malloc(sizeof(nschar_t));
  ...	if (tnp == NULL)
  ...		return ERR;

Hope this helps,
