cdk? Hmm, interesting (that one shows up in MirOS too ;)

I'm busy with all things at once too (base, security fixes,
XFree86, c++, ports...) so I know how you must feel...

Okay, I'll have a look and take that as base, thanks!

No, I'm going with development snapshots.

Of all projects, OpenBSD and Lynx are the only ones with development

ever seen. XFree86 is good too, though, and I'm currently playing
with binutils-mainline.
