Plans are only one side of the coin -- people who are actually *doing*
it are the other one.
So what shall i say: just do it. Use send-pr to send us a diff to the
Makefile or whatever is required...
Meanwhile, i've uploaded a fixit.flp for 2.2-current (as of ~ Sep 20) as
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/joerg-2.2-current-fixit.flp.gz.
(I hope i've got the name right offhand. If it fails, try some
permutations...)
