i'd love a version for window's 2000.  i want to write
limbo and have a web browser and the whole deal.  plan 9
can't do that for me.  but inferno on '2000 would do
exactly what i need.

re: charon -- i won't use it.  i've tried and read the code.

i really think [on plan 9] that:

   mk CONF='foobar' foobar

is just stupid or how ever it goes.

in the old days:

    make foobar

would do it even though the concept of 'mk' (9th Ed?) is
much better.  why type stuff twice?  it maybe fine if you
have a qwerty keyboard, but not all of us do, nor want one.

btw: sam doesn't work on '2000.  i suspect it's the 'memory
     [mis]management' on '2000.
