I disagree with yoav's suggestion with "nbsd1".  The coup folks'
suggestion of "inbsd" also seems inadequate.  

"nbsd1" fails to mention that this is 386-based (Intel-based...)
NetBSD...  Yoav, you at least should realize that NetBSD is out there
for a bunch of other platforms, and what happens if someone actually
starts getting stuff written for, say, pmax NetBSD or amiga NetBSD?

"inbsd" has no version number there.  Unless it's likely that NetBSD
will remain fully binary backwards-compatible until the end of time,
it should probably be "inbsd1"... 

Of course, it may be too late to change this, I'm not sure...
Whatever.
