It's coming along. The Hurd/glibc part is done, and Daniel made substantial
progress with user space ppp from BSD. But it will take some time for the
changes to propagate upstream, of course. We will make something available
as soon as it works.

Search for colortext, and improve it.

No, but I can try to reproduce it. The ZIP driver used to work, but I think
it doesn't anymore here either. Maybe we will punt this until oskit-mach,
though.
