Again, I'd be perfectly happy to put your contributions in the tree, and
there are ways to get them there: there's the port-sparc mailing list
and portmaster's email address to name just two. Now, it's just possible
that those aren't really practical for the stuff you have at hand. In
that case we'll have to think of something else. I'll be in touch.
