By adding a test for NetBSD here... The cvsweb you're seeing is 
OpenBSD's one and since there is no central CVS repository for this code 
  yet, I've not merged NetBSD changes yet.

I don't really agree. There are already a couple of drivers built only 
on Linux. And I don't see how using fake headers or stub functions  to 
build a driver that cannot run on a system provides any benefit.

Tinderbox is there to make sure the tree builds natively on a wide range 
of machine.  Energy must be thrown at it to keep it running on many 
different systems and ensuring that the results are looked at.

   AFAICT the "#include <dev/wscons/wsconsio.h>" is the only major

I'd rather avoid this kind of duplication. (there is a precedent with 
libusbhid, and it has been a pain to maintain).
