Yes, exactly. But there wasn't any ITP bug, was there? I didn't see it
when I last searched for one, but I may have missed this one.

That's exactly my plan. I will use quilt to apply the Gentoo patches.
How did you manage to build package? Did you repackage the sources?
There may be some other things interesting there in Darwin's package.

I, of course, plan on getting it compiled to more architectures and
would like to have some of the "purified patches" sent upstream. We can
do that together, what do you think?
That entire "missing.h" thing smells like a last-minute hack and the
makefiles provided aren't good, unfortunately. For instance, they don't
honour variables like "noopt" etc.
I don't know if the msdos utilities already present in Debian are
supported upstream (I will have to check), but having them from Darwin,
which is being improved with new versions of MacOS X seems to be a good
thing.
