Ummm...  Am I misunderstanding the "they" in that statement, or were you
referring to the NetBSD/mac68k maintainers?  If I'm not, all I can say
is that I haven't seen such a contribution.  Did you send it to me?  Was
it lost in the mail?  I'm happy to look at contributions and usually
incorporate them--sometimes with minor changes.

All the above (well, except using A/UX as the basis) is a laudable goal--
especially where there are good commercial products available for the
platform in question.  There is binary compatibility with SUNOS.  When
things settle down, I'd like to work on MachTen binary compatibility.
That shouldn't be too hard to accomplish as MachTen and NetBSD are
similar systems.  A/UX will be more "fun," and, again, I'd like to see
someone attempt it--perhaps sticking to the A/UX native apps, first ;-)
