Guillem ported sysvinit to GNU/Hurd. I just have the nasty habit of
periodicaly finding bugs in it and sending patches =)
Miquel: IIRC, sysvinit now works perfectly on GNU/Hurd with the exception
of a PID conflict (/hurd/init is pid 1 also). But don't take my word as I
haven't worked on this. Let's see what Guillem says (CCed).
Wrt your initial question, GNU/Hurd has libc0.3 now and the GNU/k*BSD have
libc0.1.

Just in case you need to contact the GNU/k*BSD folks, we're reachable at
glibc-bsd-devel@alioth.lists.debian.org. But it's unlikely that you need to
because as you know we're watching you and sysvinit closely ;).

Thanks Marco. Actualy I hardly read any mailing lists at all lately ;)
