The gentleman who did the Linux work had to do some extra stuff to get
it into proper form for exportability.  I haven't had the time to
inquire about exactly what he did.  In theory, similar things could be
done for the NetBSD AFS modules, but I haven't done anything about them
(yet).

Would anybody on netbsd-afs care to commit to doing the legwork?
