Thanks Craig. I'm wondering are most of these changes in FreeBSD ? I'm
asking from the perspective to see if they have already done most of
the initial testing for us. Though this is something well definitely 
need to
get working as preparation for the amd64 port. Last time I check our 
user
land build was dyeing in openssl, which is a vendor branch we need to
do a import of to get the fresh bits. Though I wonder if it was 
crapping out
because of some deceleration from our include files.
