Also, I will take patches against this base. What I'm actually doing now is running NetBSD 1.3.3 with the NetBSD-current coda/ sources. The patch I made to do this lets them work under 1.3.3, and also (I think, but I haven't tried) lets them work under FreeBSD 2.2.[68]. (The patch basically adds back to the NetBSD-current coda/ sources the same __NetBSD__ and __FreeBSD__ preprocessor #ifs, etc., that the cfs/ sources have.)
