I've had some previous correspondence with various FreeBSD developers
about this stuff, both via email and in person. I'm extremely
interested in working with you to ensure that you can use as much of
this stuff as possible with as much code sharing as possible. I
understand that there's likely to be things you'll need to change
that can't be "bought back" into NetBSD for various reasons
(differences in the system that will never be rectified), but I'm sure
we'll be able to keep a lot `in sync'.

Luke.
