It would be good if we'd be able to collect information
like this somewhere.  I know there was a porting effort
at one of the Gelato member institutions (UIUC, I think),
that released a preliminary patch earlier this year, but
it's been silent on that front since.

A collection of experiences would be a useful resource,
I'd think.
