Thanks for the pointer. That is a very interesting site. For those who
haven't heard of it, it is an effort to unify the various BSD (NetBSD,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSDi, Darwin) 3rd party software packaging so that 
all BSDs can use the same system.

As a side effect of their wanting to remove effort duplication, they
are trying to also unify the various flavors of BSD make.
