Well, in the case of FreeBSD, I can easily volunteer that if someone 
wanted to make a port of pl/java to include, I can commit it for them ... 
I don't know how NetBSDs system works, but I suspect it is similar ... the 
only reason 'NetBSD doesn't offer pl/java now' is because nobody a) is 
using it under NetBSD or b) submitted a port to their system

Hey JD, I notice that we don't have a port for plphp either ... if one of 
your guys wants to create one, I can get it committed ...
