I didn't know about this, as getting quik to work without a proper Open
Firmware console is not nice. When I was using the oldword, I booted via
a floppy (using basically Debian's hfs floppy with miboot) with Debian's
kernel replaced by a gzip-compressed kernel compiled by me.

Unifying the code would be nice indeed, since it would be sufficient to
use just one utility for generating the map. I don't know how hard that
would be, though... :-/

P.S.: I noticed that your mutt has not seen my accented chars
correctly. I think that you could use some variation of the following
kludge:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
# Use latin1 as much as possible
charset-hook us-ascii iso-8859-1# use latin1 for incorrectly encoded emails
set charset="iso-8859-1" # which charset the terminal uses
set send_charset="iso-8859-1" # send emails with latin1 chars
