Back from travel. Ah, lot's of interesting talk going on.
Sure, if you can safely modify source (by inlining code)
rather than using all this virtualization stuff, then that's
the way to do it. Benefits are increased performance and
less resource hogging. Deficits are, as mentioned, you need
the source code for each OS, and some good hearty fun keeping
your changes up-to-date with each of the OSes you modify.
Anyways, we should link to these web pages. These projects
achieve different goals, but they are pretty cool and
