OK, here's where we are with this.

  1.  The patches to syscons have been applied to -current.  I'll MFC
      them to -stable in a week or so (they work fine, my test machine
      runs 4.3-RC2, and the patch applied cleanly).

      If you want the patches before then, get them from

        http://people.freebsd.org/~nik/syscons2.diff

  2.  scrshot(1) has been committed to -current.  There is some
      discussion about whether or not the feature should be merged in to
      vidcontrol instead.  I don't care one way or the other.  Again,
      I'll merge this to -stable in a week or so.

      If you want it before then, the files can be grabbed from the web,
      at

        http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/scrshot/

  3.  ports/graphics/shot2png has been committed.  Run it in conjunction
      with scrshot,

          scrshot /dev/ttyv0 | shot2png > shot.png

      It parses syscons font files, see shot2png(1) for more.

      If the port distfile is unfetchable, grab it from

        http://people.freebsd.org/~nik/shot2png-1.0.tar.gz

      Sample PNG files are at=20

        http://people.freebsd.org/~nik/shot1.png
	                               shot2.png
				       shot2-thin.png

      That last shot was created by using the same source file, but
      using the cp850-thin-8x16.fnt file, instead of the default font=20
      file.

  4.  ports/textproc/shot2txt will follow shortly.

When the MFCs are complete I'll add these to the docproj meta-port.

Enjoy.
