It's at the point where the Plan 9 lib needs to be coded. I have coded about 20 functions. It's not real hard, just tedious (particularily [gs]etgr*()). The real hard part was getting configure out of the way, ignoring junk, creating dependencies and mkfiles. I wrote an rc script. I had to stop all that once my 'copious spare time' (tm) ran out. If I had some time I'd start again and with 2.2 as it's just been released. Just mk'd it. Looks like it would probably load if I'd persisted with the [gs]etgr*() glop [Modules/grpmodule.c]. Whether it would run is another question.
