Well, I wouldn't say wonderful, just very, very good...
This doesn't "unburden" all the old Net/2 derived code (not that _I_ think it
was really burdened in the first place...), such as 386/Free/NetBSD or the 
Mach BSD Single Server, at least as I read it, but it does open the way for 
completely unburdened 4.4-Lite derived systems... 

Could have been better, but hey, I'm happy with this... Cool...
