I took Dan's point to mean just that. It's certainly doable, and the way 
BusyBox works is that you compile in the components by uncommenting a define 
for each one out of the header file.

This would be a project that could start out small in scope, and work on one 
component at at time, IOW, get the base portion working with just a single 
component, and keep developing each one.

Yes, the more networking/kernel/proc would need to be ported, just like most 
all of the similar code from Linux/BSD to OpenSolaris.;-) Dan didn't say it 
was a free meal ticket, and I know better than that myself!;-)
