Just gnumach (i.e. HEAD) is gnumach-2.x which uses oskit-mach for
drivers etc. Nobody managed to get it running for the laste couple of
years and no code has been committed to it in ages.
gnumach-1-branch is what actually works for at least some hardware and
is the branch which is under light development/bug fixing.
