Well, I'm such a novice I can't tell if ./configure actually worked or not.
A few highlights from the config.log are below. I'm running the make now to
see if it works. I've compiled a lot of stuff for this system already but
the other source packages were specifically for NetBSD.

It goes on like that for pages, some tests working and some not. Unlike
Linux, NetBSD is very bare-bones and I had to compile lots of packages
already to get familiar tools like Lynx running.
