i don'z think that i'm inspired for this. as seen in the
discussion it isn't clear what /etc/mtab should do, or not.
however: i'm very new to the Hurd and don't have an idea how to
build such a translator...

*harhar* :-)
jove's last Upstream-version is dated 1994 or 95.
the Maintainer (Loic Prylli) hasn't moved sind 1998. (see also mailx)
the Package isn't orphaned or something, else i would apply
as New Maintainer to take it over, as i like that editor very
much.
Ob-Hurd: it would be nice if your list could be enhanced, so that
the reports about compiling (or not) with the changes could be
documented. (this also avoids double work.)
