:-) One of those guys is on CC actually and he is the one who suggested 
to me that I send my initial designs to the list.  The goals are 
slightly different I think, but there is some overlap.  We should 
definitely keep eachother in the loop.  I admit to not having much time 
to dedicate to this, but I do feel an exhaustive futex syscall testsuite 
is very much needed, especially as the scope of futexes has been expanding.
