Well, dinner turned out fine and the house is still standing.  More 
importantly Mkfs 1.45 executable and sources have been uploaded to both 
puma and ftp.netbsd.org thanks to Allen and Scott.  Colin also has the 
latest info and has hopes of getting the FAQ updated this weekend.

Let's see how long this one lasts before someone else finds another Mkfs
