I had found only two of these.  The other are therefore these:
  1 g4 d6  2 Bh3 Bf5  3 gxf5 Qd7  4 f6 Kd8  5 fxe7+ Kc8  6 e8=R#
(both C+ Popeye in under a second).  Same basic idea, different pinner.

I don't see how I deserve this credit, since I likely wouldn't have even
tried to find such a position had you not given the summary of the
computer results.  This is basically a case of you posting a puzzle
and me being the first (other than you) to solve it.
