I've ported AKCL 1.615 to NetBSD 0.9.  The files are available for ftp
from macbeth.cogsci.ed.ac.uk in /pub/KCL-for-NetBSD.  There are the
expected files netbsd.h and netbsd.defs and also 3 changed .c/.d files.
There is a version of Smakefile that inserts these at the right point.
It expects to find them in ../netbsd-akcl-patches.

Before installing you must also make two other changes: 

- make sure you have the fixed version of /usr/bin/ld that's in
  netbsd-current (only needed if you're going to load in your own C
  code as well as compiled lisp).

- replace vfprintf.o in /usr/lib/libc.a with one that works right
  for %e (the one with 386bsd 0.1 was ok).

"For thousands of years, [homoeopathic magic] was known to the sorcerors of
ancient India, Babylon and Egypt, as well as of Greece and Rome, and at this
day it is still resorted to by cunning and malignant savages in Australia, 
Africa and Scotland."  - J G Frazer, The Golden Bough
