	Just an addendum to my previous message.  If you think you would
be interested in helping on such a task, send me your address off-line.
I'll save them.

	If there is suficcient interest/manpower to make it more than a
one-man show, I'll set up a 3-way CVS mirror at UVa or maybe a local ISP. 
We can tag an initial starting point and start merging into one of the
three trees.  If this bears fruit we can then re-merge any recent changes
and make it a new baseline for userland.  (Yes, there is undoubtedly a lot
more to consider, but it's a start.) 

	I think minimally, there would need to be two people from each
group.  I am best counted as a FreeBSD'er.  Are there five others?
