How about gathering all the information into a single spot on the web 
somewhere, with the old patches, ports, etc, along with whatever someone 
non-arla aware would need to know (cheat sheets?) to get into the hard 
work as quickly as possible?  I know next to nothing about arla, but if 
the cheat sheets were there so I didn't have to spend a ton of time on 
learning arla completely before looking at it, it would make tinkering a 
lot easier.

Start a new thread on HFS+ if you need to.  :)
