This gets git going on NetBSD:

 ifneq (,$(findstring arm,$(uname_M)))
 	ARM_SHA1 = YesPlease
 endif

I'm no software developer so I'm not sure about the syntax of the -rpath
flag.  It does what I wanted, but it results in lots of warnings about
not being used because no linking is taking place.  Should this maybe
go in LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS?  Dunno.

Anyway, I actually used cg-clone on NetBSD to clone the git repository,
and I'll try to get the pkgsrc guys interested in creating packages for
cogito and git.

Oh, one person was concerned about the cogito scripts running on the
NetBSD version of sh, which isn't bash.  So far I've tried cg-clone,
cg-update, and gitk, and all worked just like on linux.  Any chance
that some of the other scripts may not work as well on a non-bash sh?
