Upon reflection I agree with John. To integrate with Solaris you will
need to have the source code placed into a consolidation's source tree.
Now it you want to keep a private source tree while the project is in
development, that is your choice, but you will need to deliver the code
into OpenSolaris.
I still support the project, I just think you will need to meet other
requirements for the ultimate integration.
