They could easily be, but they have several downsides:
o they need to run internal to Sun's firewall,
o they presume NFS access, a shared netgroup, and access to emacs and vi,
o they are a 15 year old collection of ksh, perl, awk and (muy poquito) php,
interfacing to cron, sendmail and mysql,
o the plan is to replace it with a new implementation ASAP, so
it is unclear whether it would be worth your and my time to bring you
up to speed with the code,
o I'm not sure how outside changes would be incorporated back.
Now that the branding stuff is starting to move off of my plate, I can resume
my focus on open ARC tools - expect me to pop up on the arc/OS.o relationship
project to start driving requirements soon.
