Miki, Tom, Richard, Craig:
As the people in charge of Solaris, SunOS, AIX and Ultrix, I've been
asked to gather some information from you.
Layered Athena is going to move away from being a project unto itself
and toward being part of how we do ports to new platforms. Platforms we
already support will be layered as well.
Please pick up /mit/brlewis/Public/layerform and modify it for your
specific platform. It's a fairly simple form; trust me. :-)

> when we should target the COMPLETION of such an effort.
