I had a look in ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5.2/sparc when
I downloaded 1.5.2 and was disappointed by the lack of stuff - I have just
been for another look around and it seems it is all in /1.5.1/ and /1.5/.
I will change that before someone from netbsd.org shouts at me.

pkgsrc is very comprehensive also, but with such a sloooow processor
getting it ready-made is much preferable.

thanks
