No way I'll have anything definitive in time, so not to worry.

I'm working with manual approach on FreeBSD, trialing editing and 
migration using DragonFlyBSD on FreeBSD-created GPT and the reverse.
Just about to introduce NetBSD-current into that mix. OpenBSD 'later' if 
at all.

What I am after is an 'agnostic' stand-alone-capable maintenance toolset 
to support both portability/sharing of 'data' storage (UFS "1" if need 
be) and multi-boot. I'm hoping to side-step the NIH legacy disklabel 
disjoint between/among the *BSD's.

Looks to be more a scripting exercise than coding - the tools are 
generally already there in each OS.
