Awesome!

There's certainly no great hurry on our end...  The only way it would
have been an issue for us would have been if the answer was a definite
"Not possible".

Since we need to do local customization, the availability of libraries
is important to us; it make it _possible_ for us to choose NetBSD for
our PC-unix.  (there's still no final decision on that front yet, but
hopefully there will be a decision soon.)

So thanks for your willingness to make them available!
