The idea is nice but I have not seen any indication that it 
will exist any time soon and I don't get much feedback when
I ask for info.  So if I don't hear otherwise, I intend to
commit the coda_<foo> ports to /usr/ports/net monday.  I
really want them in the tree now.

For the record, the coda_<foo>, stuff is in /usr/pkgsrc/net
in NetBSD.  Actually, on that side this is viewed as a stop
gap measure.  In principle, they would like the coda src in
the /usr/src since Coda is in the "official" kernel.  We 
decided that it would be inapropriate/inconvenient to put
the coda tree in the official tree, since the coda tree 
uses gmake, configure, ...  But the idea that developed is
that the Coda tree would eventually appear at a special
place in the real tree and be shadowed using std makefiles
from the official tree.  I am not ready to do this plan
at present and expect the coda tree to be reorg'ed a bit.
So in the netbsd world, /usr/pkgsrc/net is a temporary 
expedient.
