I have a request: While AST and UWIN are awesome it'll be nice to have more detailed, uptodate documentation with examples. Please don't be offended but there are many great things in AST and UWIN which are little known because the documentation is, well, very RISC-like.

The only reference I found is http://www2.research.att.com/~gsf/man/man3/aso.html which only lists its name but no usage example or further description which flavor of CAS is implemented.
