[Fsf-friends] Compiling HURD .. Lets revive fsf-prog !!

[Tarun Gaur]

Hi Ab, nice to hear from you ...

I thought we will help them with compilation tips. Hacking would come as a 
sequential step. I am sure there are numerous folks out there seeking a 
headstart.

Nevertheless i will start my effort, it will be great if you could pitch in.

Regards,
tarun
