My time to misuse I suppose. My goal is to see if I can get it done.
My goal is to see if I can make it done and repeatable.

When I get that far and what I was trying to tease out of your
response is if my changes will be tolerated and ideally accepted. My
goal is to get it to work on OpenBSD/Bitrig which is what I use. This
is a personal goal but if others can benefit (including the project)
It is a small hope to Free and Net which I will leave those who want
to take it on and we all win.

I'm thick skinned enough to take terse/curt responses with useful
information. Worth pointing out I shouldn't be the standard one uses
to measure civility though.

Cheers,
