OK for the records. mindtrap on #kgi thru irc.freenode.net modifed Nicolas Souchu's (nsouch) BETA-5 patchset to build and run on RELENG_6 and HEAD. mindtrap only had a personal web page to store his modified patchset. Unfortunatly I no longer have the patchset or the URL of the patchset :-( Those of us that are interested in KGI4BSD just have to wait for nsouch or mindtrap to appear on #kgi for more info. Last I heard nsouch (I think) was giving mindtrap an preforce repo or something, and both were working on a new API....or something.
