All major feautures are implemented, apart from the following:
- fusion_reactor_set_dispatch_callback(),
- fusion_skirmish_notify() (what it's supposed to do?),
- fusion_ref_inherit().
Even if it's slower than linux-fusion, it's stable enough to run the
most important applications (XDirectFB, FusionSound, DFBTerm, DFBSee and
co.) and, most important thing, it's portable, so you can have the
multi-app core either on non-linux platforms.
Give it a try!
