Btw i have forgotten to give you sympathy for this.

But i am wondering in general, the OpenBSD guys (no girls at all
i think, except a plus HTML generator that is now also gone
i think) seem to allow "external" toolchains for at least tests.
I am pretty confident i have often seen a network stack guy
(German i think) to use Python for network tests.
Wouldn't this be an option for FreeBSD, to allow at least certain
parts of the unit tests to be written in freely chosen languages?
