I think it is a good idea to keep the newer BSD rcsid's("$OpenBSD:", 
etc.) when contributing ported code.  Keeping a reference to what 
version was used is actually quite helpful in that one could go back at 
a later date and see if the BSD people caught some bugs which we might 
have missed.  As, for non bsd code (such as ISC code, etc.) with plain 
$Id:'s, I think that removing the dollar signs would be a good approach 
there.
