Package: newhurd

This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

NewHURD project aims to create a brand new kernel for the GNU system. The new 
kernel aims to be a replacement of the GNU HURD kernel. 

Currently no code exists. Initial discussions are at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newhurd

The idea is to first write a prototype based on monolothic (linux) approach. 
Then write another prototype based on micro (mach) approach.

Both prototypes will be *very* basic i.e. no networking etc. 

Once both prototypes are created, then the design goals and objectives of the 
new kernel will be decided.

There is a possibility that an exokernel approach may be considered for the 
real product.
