netbsd port ?

I built binaries for NetBSD 5.0 that are available via the openjdk-bin
package in pkgsrc, but not for earlier releases (although I probably
should build a NetBSD-4 version, since that's still an officially
supported release train).

I'd expect openjdk to just build on NetBSD-3, see
http://ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/spz/openjdk/openjdk7-howto
for a recipy. Once you scrub your environment(*) it's fairly
straightforward, it just takes a while to build.

The patch I needed for the openjdk version I put onto ftp.NetBSD.org has
since been integrated, so that one isn't necessary any more; but as lots of
new code has been added, too, there's chance of entirely new fun to be had.
:-P

(*) variables like eg $BIN get used as conditional, and the script that
sets them as a "yes" indicator doesn't unset them as a "no" indicator, so
if you already had them set because you use them differently, you get
surprising results. If I had lots more time I'd want to hunt them all down.
