That would be great. Jeff Bailey promised to set up a cvs server for me,
but it seems that he's quite buzy now.
So Marcus, can you set up such a module on sourceforge, and please email
me some details on the usage (I know CVS quite well, but I don't know if
sourceforge has anything special, or usage guidelines or something
alike).
And Jeff, can you send me a tarball of your pthreads-extracted-from-glibc
so people do not need to rebuild glibc in order to test pthreads? This
actually is one of the reasons I'm reluctant to test it on my own
machine.
Erik.
