It has been partially done, but only partially. Hats off to Warner Losh for doing a lot of it. (I've done a little, but not really much.) /bin is AFAIK clean (everything is merged) - for everywhere else I don't know. I'll review and check in if these fixes if you sent them to me. (I can't guarantee commiting them verbatim, but I will do my best to make sure a patch is committed rapidly for any real problem.) If known, please indicate who in OpenBSD did the original fix.
