[PATCH] Porting to NetBSD

No objections, as long as major breakages can be avoided.

I had a look at your patch and would like to point out a few things I noticed:

- FreeBSD's vfsstat implementation is different from NetBSD's. getvfsstat() 
does not exist on FreeBSD systems and the statvfs structure on FreeBSD 
doesn't contain all members referenced in disk.cpp and mntdevice.cpp. This 
actually makes the build fail on FreeBSD.
See http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?statvfs+5 and 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=statvfs

- There is no real need to find an ATAPICAM replacement for NetBSD. The 
purpose of isATAPICAMDevice() in mntdevice.cpp is to avoid accessing CD/DVD 
drives through ATAPICAM since there are some problems, especially with 
mounting DVDs.

- Feel free to replace non-standard functions like stpcpy() with a proper 
implementation using strcpy() (package.cpp)

- The package manager won't work without a defined INDEX_PATH variable 
(pkgconstants.h)

Other than that, everything seems to work fine on FreeBSD :)

Best regards,
Peter
