      Hello.  I'm relatively new to the Hurd.  After building from CVS, I'm 
      rather impressed with the current state.  That being said, I was mildly 
      surprised at the lack of these features:
      * devfs

 Any ideas how to do this properly?

      * procfs

 See hurdextras http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/hurdextras

      * /etc/ld.so.conf

 I think Jeff likes this, it is a bit hacky though.

      * /dev/random, /dev/urandom

 There is a random translator kicking around.

      * /sbin/route

      So, my question is, is anyone working on these and if not, can
      anyone give me some pointers on where to start?

  Sometimes.
