Here to add some words about building an OS.

I already worked hard in the past few years on making an OS (or better is to
say as a port of the Amiga OS in C++ on multiple platform). I do a port of
the exec.library which is the core of the operating system in djgpp. This
library can be define as a Preemtive Real Time Kernel, but this library
alone don't make a whoole operating system (because there are no driver for
I/O devices and no DOS - disk operating system) which exists in Amiga OS but
not in my port. I'm very close to set my work public (I update the
documentation and the portability information). And, I check out the work
done by AROS team which is another project of porting Amiga OS.
