Re: [9fans] simple venti demo:

rather than continue to live for the next 20 years with
(say) 20- to 30-year old include file structures and library implementations
that became overly complicated (and badly implemented), a better
approach might be to separate the libraries from the much larger distribution
of plan 9-based commands etc, and make them available in the usual way
as packages to import using the (many different) package managers on Unix-like 
systems.
