Chris has already tried Box on NetBSD and found some significant issues
which means it is non-trivial to make work - really it needs porting to
NetBSD. I can only assume Box was not ported to NetBSD before.

I'm happy to help where I can with this (certainly the autoconf stuff is
no trouble) but this really looks like a 0.11 task, not 0.10.

Cheers,

Martin.
