Thanks for educating a NetBSD newbie.  That works fine for me as well.    Just 
for completeness, I've attached a completely trivial patch that does it that 
way instead, but I'm still somewhat unclear on the rationale behind which way 
would be used in what cases.  Of course, using genassym.cf for the structure 
offsets and such is clear, but for the simple defines, it becomes hazier for me.

Thanks again,
   Scott
