If you're a Slashdotter like me, you'll notice that Apple has started an
Open Source-ish program, and it seems that quite a few people have begun to
port GNU software to its platform (the name evades me). I'd watch for gcc,
g++, egcs, etc. there.

I'd like to see that, too. Anyone else interested? I posted earlier about my
trying to organize the writing of a windowing system w/ Allegro, but if a
group of people want to port X, I'd happily agree to take a major part in
it. Heck, I'll coodinate it if you want. Fun, fun, fun!
