Well, the build issues there are squid-caused from what I can see,
caused by the unavailability of Shm and failures to properly link in
the wake of its absence - it may be the only platform we have which
doesn't support shm and this may be its value.
Apart from that, I'll just set up a new OpenBSD node and drop the
older ones, no problem.
