Hi Justin!
	Thanks for the input. I’ve filed a few bugs up on the NetBSD PR tracker (look for "Garrett Cooper” as the originator). Most of the bugs I’ve filed/will file have to deal with header compile issues (FreeBSD is more pedantic about headers and less likely to pollute in the header namespace it seems than NetBSD is). However, I’ve filed a few bugs for other issues too, e.g. http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=48910 , http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=48962 , http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=49001 , http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=49013 .
Cheers!
