I was referring more to an arrangement where we'd try to keep ONE set
of libraries compatible.  I agree that the prospect of simply
producing NetBSD/i386 and BSD/OS "compatability kits" holds much more
attraction for me than does trying to keep the libs in sync between
the two systems.  Not that I really have time either way, but it's
definitely an idea!
