    Last time this discussion arose, the conclusion was that we didn't want
    to use ports in the release-building process if it could be avoided; and
    I didn't (and still don't) have time to clean it up appropriately for
    inclusion in the base system. (My "port" includes NetBSD's make and a
    number of libraries because I figured it was easier to include those
    than it would be to rewrite the Makefiles.)

    I don't have any personal experience here... but since this code came from
    NetBSD, I certainly hope so!
