Ok, then I imagine the Linux folks will not be as interested in
getting dtrace support added.
So... OS X/BSD folks? As I mentioned, simply copying the code over
from Solaris appeared to *almost* work. I'd love to see this get in,
and might even have time to hack at it...but if someone has a free
hour maybe they could assess how much work is required.
You all need more projects to work on, right?!
