Is the sort og thing that you would want ?

If YES is the answer then when would you like to proceed on this project ?

If you can not dedicate resources and time to that project then please
submit your requirements to me for review and I will put it on the todo
list.

In the mean time I just finished putting in snv_63 based hardware and I have
to work with some people that want to build a package system for the
OpenSolaris users of the future.
