Well, there's LITES.  I've not looked into it, myself, but I hear it's
a 4.4-Lite server for Mach.  Shouldn't be too hard to get it running on
the MkLinux microkernel.  Depending on performance and other issues,
though, a monolithic BSD might still be desirable by some or many people.
Folks have many different uses for their computers and OSes...  One size
never fits all...  ;-)

Not really.  They're using a few things, though.  I was happy to see
that.  We should be able to use some of their code, too...
