FYI to all as a follow-up on this thread: I've set Tomas up with an account on
the FreeBSD Perforce server as a place to do the work-in-progress, which
should improve exposure in (and opportunity for collaboration with) the
FreeBSD developer community, as well as making it easier to track the
7-CURRENT mainline.
