Great!

How long do you think you (or someone) will be able to maintain it?  I ask 
because we don't really have anyone in the current developer community with 
mosix experience...  We've taken a few components from random contributors in 
the past, and they've ended up withering on the vine because no one supported 
them.  :-(
