I'd add R4{4,0}00 support.  I haven't heard what Per's been up to for a
while.  I imagine we can lift a lot from the work he's done.  I've got
a 5000/260 just waiting for NetBSD, and I'd like to think I can help
with this one.  Wasn't Per also working on shared libs?

As far as 5) goes, I'm not sure what you're after.  Snapshots?
Packages as in non-NetBSD source compiled up?  I've got CPU cycles and
disk to burn, so I should be able to help here...

Simon.
