I think I had a long term idea that eventually they would all be subtly
different web sites. Like Matt Sergeant has axkit.org for the AxKit home
page and axkit.com for a company that he's hoping to set up for commercial
support of AkKit.
Or, on the other hand, perhaps I just saw they were all free and thought
they would be worth a lot of money if the LAMP acronym took off.
