Should the Zaurus port be NetBSD/hpcarm or NetBSD/zaurus ?

I'm wondering if I should port Zaurus under NetBSD/hpcarm or create a new port. Reasons to start a new port "NetBSD/zaurus": - Different CPU/hardware so at least different machdep.c and start.S are needed (and a different bootloader!). - hpcarm is advertised as "Intel StrongARM based Windows CE PDA machines", which the Zaurus isn't. - The Zaurus is not just one "type", there are various models, so a new port can be extended to support more models. Is it ok to introduce NetBSD/zaurus for those reasons? [please CC me, I'm not subscribed] -- Peter Postma
