Subject: Anyone try BMRT Linux binaries on NetBSD-current?

I am currently running Linux at home instead of NetBSD solely because I
want to run Larry Gritz's BMRT (Blue Moon Rendering Tools), a
shareware, Renderman compliant rendering package.  Larry only
distributes binaries and the only Unix-on-PC-clone binaries available
are for Linux.  I would very much like to run NetBSD-current instead of
Linux, but before I switch, I'd like to be sure that BMRT will run
under the NetBSD Linux compatibility mode.  So, has anyone tried this?
The BMRT package is available from
ftp://ftp.seas.gwu.edu/pub/graphics/BMRT, if anyone wants to grab it.

Thanks,
Jim
