OK, I santd corrected; thanks Adam!

I was under the impression (apparently wrong) that there was NetBSD into
a branch called "Magnum", which was different from the "current" branch
which was publically available, and was where the initial 4.4-Lite
integration was being done.  Guess I was misinformed.
