OK, I've got the latest bsd-port, and am trying to apply the patches - which
are failing.

(Btw - John, are the instructions at
http://wikis.sun.com/display/mlvm/Building missing a step like:

sh patches/make/each-patch-repo.sh hg -v qpush -a

I couldn't seem to get hg to attempt to patch without something like that ?)

I think we need to get an update on the status of the BSD patchset with

I've asked if anyone has any cycles to help us out. I have time, but no
experience :) - so if we can get someone who has experience but limited
time, I think we'll be OK.

Thanks,

Ben
