  While browsing the Darwin source, I found several interesting
pieces of code -- for example an assembler implementation of ffs,
strlen, memcmp etc. As a test I'm currently running with the new
ffs code in this here kernel which is about twice as fast as the
generic C version.

  However, all these tidbits are covered under the Apple Open
Source License, which doesn't look acceptable for inclusion in NetBSD.
So should we ignore those snippets? Beg Apple to release them under a
BSD license?
