- Err, gee, you *are* aware that a lot of the content of the
- aforementioned applications is *kernel* code, right?
-
- And you *are* aware that, for better or worse, most if not all of "the
- powerful porting tools and compatibility packages" don't do anything to

- Yes, it's probably not a Good Thing that Sun hasn't yet ported them.

- tools" is irrelevant.
