I've raised this issue on the FreeBSD mailing list, and at least
four people with experience in porting code across platforms have
expressed interest in helping out.

What would be the best way to get involved?  Try porting ourselves?
Work against your CVS repository?  Could you be coordinating the
efforts so as to minimize duplication of effort?

When you gentlemen get things set up, give me a write 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]); I've got 22+ years of porting experience.
