But that version has an older date. I did a quick diff with the newer
version and it looked like it had been cleaned up some.  There is
however this empty #ifdef __NetBSD__ part where FreeBSD has some data
filled in. Perhaps if I just fill it in it might work.  But 80x86 isn't
my strong point so I may not be able to judge if it does.
