That's sortof what I was working towards when I got swamped with real work
and had to stop.  You can see that with the source for 'version2', how
it's more laid out like the real kernel source.  But the fact that the
kernel is quite gcc specific was a real pain considering I was using VC++. 
I know cygwin would have been the logical choice, but I prefer the VC++
debugger over gdb :)

I was actually really surprised by how long it took.  You should have been
slashdotted half a year ago IMO
