Oh, you are the guy who ported XGalaga? I had _*MUCH*_ fun with it a long time 
ago. Thank you. :)

Of course, this was because your skills are too high for our bug fixing jobs. ;)

ISC DHCP should be a good app to start from. If possible, could you leave the 
DHCP files as much as possible untouched, so we have less work when updating to 
a new version?
Could you also please sometimes drop a mail on this list with a little notice 
about the problems you ran into? Maybe we can fix all issues globally and make 
porting linux/bsd apps easier in general.

Let's rock! :)
