I'm guessing this code dates to before the new NetBSD startup system. It
almost looks like this could've been proof-of-concept code for the NetBSD
startup code that I've been staring at for the past few hours. It lacks
some of the refinement and flexibility of the NetBSD code though. He does
have an excellent requirements doc though, which is definitely a keeper.

If you're heading up the mailing list, please put me on it. I'm interested
in helping with the initial port and future maintainance of this, as may
be evidenced by an extreme overabundance of posts by me on this subject.
(my apologies to the innocents who don't care at all about this thread)
For the moment, I'm continuing with my own local port, with the full
knowledge that my code may end up being an intellectual exercise. I'll
post code as soon as I can verify that it's at least to the 'works for me'
stage.
