Done. Several times now ;-)

No.  That does not work, i ignored rar, which won't build on my NetBSD  
i386 5.0.2 - it says I need to be running off a kernel with  
compat_nomid, which I do, but exec_nomid is not defined in the kernel,  
instead only _KERNEL_OPT_COMPAT_NOMID is defined.

Anyway, the old rar does still work, so I excluded it from being  
rebuilt.

Now I have a more severe problem that seems to tell me "make replace"  
is somehow broken, and I don't know how to fix that.

As a side note, make replace deletes the local config /usr/pkg/etc/ 
nmh, which I find to be a major bug - it should preserve the configs  
for the user to merge.
