Thanks for the very good work you have already done! (It is the most
advanced support amongst BSDs if I'm not mistaken.)

Yes I use v2.01 by default (Windows uses this too) and it works
quite well and IMHO this is the best "portable" format that should be
encouraged.

Thanks for tackling this! and if the NetBSD foundation wants to
sollicite me for some extra donation and to allow you to devote some
time on it, I'm OK.
