	For one thing, NetBSD's utility set are far more POSIX
	complient than FreeBSD's.  This is why we chose the Net
	code as a porting base.  For those concerned mainly about
	POSIX... .

	On the other side of the equation, FreeBSD is ahead in
	it locale code.  --Prob'ly because FBSD has a larger
	base outside the US.
