hi folks.


i've uploaded 6 full releases for sparc, sparc64, shark, sgimips, i386
and amd64 to:

	ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/mrg/netbsd-5-current-xsrc/

there are installer .iso and sets available.

these sets have been built from netbsd-5 tree with a relatively large
patch applied:

	ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/mrg/netbsd-5-current-xsrc/xsrc-5.1.diff2

and with a few symlinks for -current xsrc to find old sources (see the
patch itself for details.)


please test these sets.  i have tested i386, amd64 and shark.  shark
has a problem with xterm, everything else works for me.  i would like
to hear about this working for others as well.  the goal is for
netbsd 5.1 to include these updates.

thanks!
