That reminds me: if you've done something, commit it, use our 
repository as your private backup service :-)
It doesn't matter if it's finished or not as long as it takes less time 
to complete it than rewriting it from scratch. We don't judge anyone by 
unfinished and unpolished code, not even Michael for his screen saver 
library ;-P
In fact, it's a great opportunity to get advises and tips you wouldn't 
even think of asking for :)

I am down to only minor glitches - the Storage Kit makes some direct 
syscalls in BeOS which aren't support from our kernel. Of course, if 
that stuff will work or not is another matter :)
And we don't even have userland debugging support yet...

Thanks for your work!
