On that pleasant note, I've pushed a couple more changesets to my
repository on pogo: a fix for a buglet that I made a bug report for,
and some fixes from NetBSD and NetBSD folks for compiler warnings. I
tested that it builds on pogo, though it doesn't fix all the warnings
on pogo. (I think the latest openssl is the only cure for the -Wshadow
nagging. Pogo doesn't have openssl?)

Though the decision hasn't definitely been made, I believe we'll be
importing 4.2.0 into NetBSD, whether those last make it in, or not. If
the timing's right, we'll probably have NTP 4.2.1 in NetBSD 2.0 (which
is still many months away).
