I havn't been following the reason for these changes very closely.  I'm 
sure these changes weren't made without good reason.  I have no doubt 
the intentions were good.   BUT...

net/kismet is now broken on my netbsd 3.1 system.  It will not 
configure.  All I had to do to get it to build properly was to re-add 
the "==" that the new patches had removed in favor of "=".  Once the 
tests were returned to normal, the package built fine.  Were these 
changes tested at all before they were imported?  Perhaps they work on 
4.0, I dont know, but this sure gave me a real "WTF?" moment today.
