This is not the easiest thing to do (I've tried). Rather one should look
at what changes OpenBSD has done to a piece of code since they imported
it from NetBSD and compare with FreeBSD code to see if the OpenBSD change
is applicable to us.
{Net,Open}BSD kept a lot of Net/2 [influenced] code (not sure how they
were allowed to do that), while we started fresh with 4.4BSD. Thus diffs
between us and them in userland utils and be quite different.
