There is also a link on http://homer.ncm.com, if I recall (and that site
has a new canonical name, but I can never remember it).
Currently, the biggest problem seems to be threading stuff. Pthreads
just isnt quite there and linux doesn't have ucontext.h and friends, so
the greenthreads that come with Java won't work right out of the box,
either :(
