When I tried to build xrn for NetBSD, I found that none of the three
beta versions in /mit/sipb/src/src worked. In the meantime, Yoav
managed to get a working executable, but I don't know how.
I've pulled over a copy of the latest non-beta version from
ftp.cam.ov.com (apparently jik is actually doing work on the thing)
and installed it as /mit/sipb/src/src/xrn. I made the configuration
changes we made for xrn on the other platforms, and got it to build
for NetBSD (this meant writing POSIX regular expression support, due
to a problem with libcompat). I didn't install it, though.
This is to just to let people know what the various source trees are,
and to explain why the xrn source tree might not build for the other
platforms yet (although it should at least make a good attempt).
