Just a suggestion, since your README states that it most likely won't run
on anything but NetBSD/i386, then make a package for it! You don't have
to worry about any other platforms. I just tried compiling it on Solaris,
and it didn't go. Nothing like a screen full of errors to make you happy.
Not to mention, the Makefile is a BSD dependant one.
