I knew that it was planned at some point, but I'd heard from the l4 guys
that active development on GNU Mach had stopped, so I didn't really think
anyone was going forward with this--when is the switch planned for,
approximately?

Also, do you know which parts of the arch-specific code will be in OSKit
(or, if it's easier, which parts will _not_ be in OSKit)?

Finally, I didn't think that OSKit had been ported to 64-bits--is this not
true?
