Ahh that would be ideal, but I think we need a place to coordinate our
work. As it stands now, FreeBSD ports has a patchset and I believe
macports copied that and adjusted it for Darwin. So currently there's
two variations around. I easily could copy the FreeBSD patchset and
get OpenBSD up and running but then there would be three versions.
Getting it all together in one place seems like the logical first step
so that we don't all step on each other's changes.
