[Not speaking for NetBSD...]

  I think this would be a great project.  There are many implementations
around in various states (search the list archives), but none with
acceptable license for inclusion in tree.

  Other potential projects I can think of are:
* COMPAT_DARWIN (OS X binary emulation) work
* PEACE (win32 binary emulation) work
* splice system call
* shared memory over local socket or non-fs-backed fd identifier
* package cross compile framework
* kernel enforcement of systrace policies
* LFS improvements and testing
* MIPS VIPT cache support and better VM management (fork performance...)
* make the kernel deal with serously out of memory situations reasonably
