Hello,
Good job, but... Why this project is merged only with NV81.
When Crossbow will be integrated part of OpenSolaris ?

Regards

thanks.
We decided to take time to stabilize the bits, so a while back we merged 
with snv81 and
delayed the re-sync with a more recent build until the Beta release is 
published.
The next re-sync will be with snv84 or later, and it will have merged 
two other
major projects: Clearview and Brussels.
