We have some VMs (including NetBSD) available that are used during
Peter's regression tests when somebody sends him a PULL requests. You
can run them also locally with:

 make BUILD_TARGET=check vm-build-netbsd

From time to time, we've got to update these images, either to a newer
version or to add some missing packages (like bash and gnu-sed in this
case).
However, many people (including me) don't have a clue about the various
*BSD flavours, so also no clue about how to update these images easily.
That's why I was hoping you could help here.

But looks like Gerd is already working on a way to generate these images
in a more automated way, so let's hope that he'll find some spare time
to finish that work soon.
