  Sigh.  It would have been too easy, wouldn't it? ;-)

  Something else that came to my mind regarding our default-deny
tactics: we have to be very careful about what we deny the configure
script to find.  Otherwise we can easily break a package for different
operating systems.  For example, a package configured under Solaris oder
Linux might need to find a completely different set of header files
and/or libraries than under NetBSD.  In the worst case, this might even
apply to different ports/versions of NetBSD as well.
