This seems unnecessarily complex and seems to be missing several steps.

Many conflicts over eight files.

So instead I removed / fixed RCS ident. Copied files into place.

Here is a patch for testing. I built and I am running it on NetBSD/i386 
3.1.

(1.2 MB)

Also that has bogus files and windows source that can probably be removed.

Updating this is way too complex. Maybe using the scripts and instructions 
found in bind2netbsd and the files it references would be better. But 
they are missing steps (like should a "cvs up" be done between the steps 
in the different scripts?).
